But it IS broken.The only hype I'm witnessing is this fantasy created
by some that there's a hype around this issue.

The team that found the bug produce a non sensationalist  and
comprehensive report. So it couldn't be them. The other perople
discussing the issue are software developers who already know the
scope pof this bug from the very beginning of this thread.

So I'm not seeing the hype. What I'm seeing is this apparent attempt
at reductio ad absurdum to disqualify this bug.
