A turning point for CVE numbers

Incidently, that company was that way because *EU regulations required them to be*.

(They laid off my research team on the tail end of a major process/policy revamp brought about by new regulations soon to come into effect. I was made to endure many training sessions about how those new/updated regulations affected every part of the overall product lifecycle, from early design to manufacturing to label placement/content to post-sales support to how end-of-life would be handled)

So it's not "that company's problem" so much as "the problem of any company operating in a regulated space"
