Did anyone ever get this? None of my three nexus devices got it that I can tell.

Android Security Advisory — 2016-03-18 | Android Open Source Project

6. How do I know if I have a device that contains a fix for this issue?

Android has provided two options to our partners to communicate that their devices are not vulnerable to this issue. Android devices with a security patch level of March 18, 2016 are not vulnerable. Android devices with a security patch level of April 2, 2016 and later are not vulnerable to this issue. Refer to this article for instructions on how to check the security patch level.
 
3 Nexus devices and no sign of it. We usually get updates 2-3 weeks into each month. That's when I expect it although it will be labeled April 1 update.
 
Mostly I'm wondering why the mid month security update never made it out when we know the vulnerability is actively being exploited?
 
I never got it either. Considering we have Nexus devices, this is troubling. Quick, timely updates are one of the draws of a Nexus device but we're 2 weeks past the release of that March 18 update and many are reporting not having that patch level.
 
One son has a 6P. He said he got it a few days ago. We have n9, n5, and n5x with no updates.
