Huge fan of LineageOS, but this isn't a great comparison. While Google probably found out about Krack earlier than the Lineage team. They aren't going to break their normal monthly security release schedule for it.
so, who will be hurt if Google releases this time a non monthly security update? E.g. I don't see any sysadmin related tasks to this. Look e.g. on a big competitor: Apple is releasing whenever there is something new/important. Why cannot Google go the same way. What's so wrong when there is a October 17th security update?<p>I mean... it takes anyway a couple of months until many vendors will implement the upcoming November patch.
