Last month I finally stopped trusting vendor patch timelines, here's why
Our SIEM vendor said a critical rule update would roll out Tuesday. I planned around it, told the night shift to hold off on manual checks. Then Thursday came, still nothing. A buddy at a shop in Austin said same thing happened to them, so I dug into the release notes and found a known delay buried in a forum thread from 3 weeks ago. That changed my mind about ever taking a vendor's word at face value again. Now I check the public bug tracker every Monday before we schedule any changes. Has anyone else gotten burned by vendor release dates and switched to independent verification?

Vendor timelines are just suggestions, like a toddler's ETA for bedtime.
