A mountain of bug reports isn't a mountain of fixed bugs

Finding a vulnerability is only the beginning. Someone still has to verify it, prioritize it and fix it without breaking everything else. Anthropic's October Cyber Mission announcement acknowledges that Project Glasswing uncovered many vulnerabilities without yet achieving a sufficient reduction in cyber risk. It identifies the repair bottleneck and introduces support for critical infrastructure and open-source projects. That's the right distinction to make. Now judge progress by fixes and reduced exposure, not just discovery totals. Dumping more findings on overstretched maintainers won't automatically make anyone safer.
