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. :)

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?
