That has been the 'standard' or guideline for most of CVEs history. If 
that changes, I feel it critical that it be communicated to the 
community 
and a disclaimer added somewhere on the CVE page(s). We're rapidly 
approaching where companies will start using CVE data to make general 
statements about how many vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2017, and 
many 
do it largley based off the IDs.

Also note that many DWF assignments this year also broke from that, 
giving 
2017 assignments to issues as far back as 2012. This is not limited to 
HackerOne by any means.
