Yes, I think so.

That makes sense to me; I=E2=80=99m not satisfied with =E2=80=9Cforeign=E2=
=80=9D either (I think
the inspiration came from FFIs, but still).  Maybe =E2=80=9Cfellow distros=
=E2=80=9D?
:-)

I=E2=80=99ve received the CVE ID (CVE-2019-18192) just now so I=E2=80=99ve =
added it to
the article and pushed it.

It should show up on line shortly.

Thank you for your feedback!
