The crossed out '2025' in the timeline is bizarre. Have I missed some joke here, or does the author not like to use the delete key?

I edited the blog to make it more clear what happened - it was a typo I fixed. It didn't occur to me that it could be misconstrued, usually it's obvious that it's a typo fix, but in the case of the year it wasn't. :)
yes, its a joke. vendors take a long time to respond, sometimes :-)
I used to work with the author of dnsmasq - I’d be surprised if he sat on a vulnerability report the way some larger vendors do.
Yeah, it was a fixed typo, not a tongue-in-cheek comment. :)

The vendor responded with a fix within hours!

if he responded in less then 24 hours, I would include the times with the dates
I could have, and perhaps next time, but I think <24h is enough information. :)
Probably fixed it after publishing the article, and wants to keep corrections visible?
This. Somebody pointed out my typo on Twitter. :)
