The embargo on security patches isnt what i am talking about. Once security patches are released, /e/OS takes 1-2 months to patch these vulnerabilities. This isnt because of the embargo but in addition to it! They are by far the worst about this out of any of the alt Android ROMs (2nd worst is iode, at around ~1 month). /e/OS has been terrible about security for years even before all this "Google security patch" nonsense.
