Despite existing for a little over four months and in that time assigning over 2000 CVEs at a faster rate than any other CNA in existence, the harm it's single-handedly caused to the CVE ecosystem hasn't been fully appreciated yet by the public and is mostly relegated to security teams of downstream distributions,

Is this related to the fact that the NIST NVD have had a huge backlog of unprocessed CVE:s since February?
