> Can redhat explain what do they mean by "responsible disclosure"?

It's always been our policy to credit the folks that discover an issue
when they give us some advance notice to prepare updates and where we can
co-ordinate with them.  That practice has recently been labelled
"responsible disclosure".  I agree that we do need to define what we mean
by "responsible disclosure" as this phrase has been used for all sorts of
disclosure practices recently.  Personally, for example, I wouldn't class
the practice of researchers telling people who pay them for some product
or service before the issue is public "responsible disclosure" but many 
seem to.

Cheers, Mark
