Will the ISC implement similar policies with its INN and DHCP software in the foreseeable future, or is this something unique to BIND?I don't see INN or DHCP as critical to the internet's infrastructure, so, no.
So, the more critical to the Internet's infrastructure software is, the more difficult it should be for non-"privledged" people to be made aware of key security announcements/patches in a timely manner? Why not just notify everyone at once? That way, when vulnerabilities are discovered, people can take whatever action they deem appropriate to protect their infrastructure (write/release their own set of BIND patches? upgrade to djbdns? decide DNS is too daunting to manage in-house, and outsource to Nominum or UltraDNS instead?), rather than remain vulnerable, pending an official announcement from the appropriate sources. -adam
