Not true. None of the major distros were alerted and Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, etc. were all struggling at the last minute. See: https://infosec.exchange/@wdormann/116489443704631952

However, none of those DDoS's took out the archive servers, so Ubuntu users could still get new kernels.

    Interesting. So only the fast distros were done patching by time of disclosure. The ones you wouldn't run a server on. Because only the kernel devs better informed. That's... pretty amateurish from the guys who discovered CopyFail.
