Nothing for DragonFly.  Though Matt had fixes in DragonFly within 48
hours or so...  which implies it could have been fixed 5 months and 29
days sooner, if this embargo hadn't been in place.

It didn't add to anyone's workload to notify, and it's not hard to
provide that notification.  Even if BSD systems are 1% of the market,
it affects almost 100% of BSD users... so they should have made the
effort.  Not doing it hurt the fix process.
