Stopgap in a sentence as a noun

Toyota killed some people because their dumb code overwrote memory, blasting the OS task tables causing the watchdog task to stop getting CPU time, meaning nothing provided a stopgap against unintended acceleration.

I seriously doubt that this stopgap, ********, announcement has been preceded by considerably more development into Alchemy, and even if they have thrown dozens of people at the project for the last 6 months, it can't possibly justify the cost.

There is some literature[1] indicating the body can tolerate such acidosis better in the absence of hypoxemia so the cited idea may have merit as a stopgap measure, but I'm not sure how effective this scheme would be in near or complete absence of ventilation - like the example cited where the little girl's lungs are full of blood.
