This isn't a "bug in the queue," it's a severe security update that requires immediate patching.

Pretty much every software vendor has a way to ship fixes for 0-day exploits. They're called "hot fixes" and generally bypass normal releases. (IE, where I work, we can bypass our normal releases and publish emergency bugfixes in a matter of hours.)

That's why the fix needs a leader to basically pull everyone into a room and say "get it out by EOD."
