Man. Now I *have* to reply. But not to criticize. The reason this is, is
to encourage coordinated release across repositories and distros.

Each vendor and many package maintainers do have a security list where
this is fully disclosed (many are cross community/company.) What you
don't want to do is have one launch a fix and have others caught with
their pants down when a script kiddie gets hold of it.  

Full disclosure without full exposure. 

Heh. Me And Jesse Jackson.
