It seems to me that people like Georgi Guninski while they claim to support full disclosure obviously support it for reasons other than the good of the security community.
Without venturing into the dangerous psychological territory of second-guessing people's motivations, I feel it is time once again to point out that none of this would be relevant if application developers would do their own security reviews prior to releasing their software, rather than letting the rest of the world do it for them, free of charge. Having a large, ridiculously wealthy corporation call someone 'discourteous' or 'irresponsible' after rushing to release software that endangers thousands of systems and terabytes of data is bordering on the comically absurd, or would be if it weren't so needlessly tragic. Perspective, folks. That's what it's all about. Cheers, RGF Robert G.
