Embargo should last at most to the moment fix is made and code passes test suite.

Anything longer is putting systems at danger. I can recompile the package with a patch (even if Ubuntu/RHEL takes 3 weeks to do it) myself in a pinch, and I'd like to have a chance for it before the bug gets re-discovered by malicious party

What if the test suite passes in the middle of the night? Should all administrators interrupt their sleep and get up to recompile their servers immediately?

That is generally the practice in professional environments, yes. Many places have an on-call rotation, and those that don't soon discover why. An embargo wouldn't fix that particular problem anyway, because time zones exist.
