Two months is still recently. Think about "In recent history we invaded
Iraq", "In recent times terrorism has become more prominent".

The real problem here is that "0-day" originally meant "previously
undisclosed
vulnerability/exploit".  The term lost its usefulness when all the hacker
wannabe's started posting "I found a 0-day", when what they really had was
a "*yawn*-we've-been-waiting-18-months-for-vendor-to-fix-day".



Yes, Valdis, and thats why a new modern term for 0-day is needed. Forget
0-day, its the past, RDV is the future.
