Wow, that's a pretty huge and inexplicable oversight on their part. Hard 
to believe they crippled their efforts so badly by missing something so 
obvious, but I can't think of any reason they'd have to restrict 
themselves so generously on purpose. Maybe a conscripted engineer's 
subtle resistance sabotage? OK, whatever, hopefully it gives time for 
the vulnerability to be fixed before they exploit it.
