Context about how I got CVE-2026-99999: it wasn't assigned by incrimental luck. There were nearly 2k unassigned CVEs before it. The Linux maintainers felt it deserved the special number because of impact+new attack surface for KVM escapes and offered it. It was a prize! I was just telling someone it feels like graduation from cybersecurity. So yeah it's intentionally assigned, and I'll be eternally grateful for it.
@sonukg4india projective geometry POV: the vertical line x=0 intersects the rotated parabola in (0,0) and P. check that P is in R^2: the rotated parabola intersects "infinity" at homegeneous coordinates [sin(1deg):cos(1deg):0], that does not lie on x=0, as sin(1deg) != 0.
