aside: worm vs. worm?

It seems that between the time dcom.c first starting popping up around the internet and today, there was ample time for someone to write and release a worm designed to patch infected systems and remove any sign of itself. Given that on the 16th of this month windowsupdate.com will be DDOSed, does anyone else see this as an opportunity for a war of worms with windowsupdate.com at stake? Would anyone consider releasing a patching worm on their own network if they knew it wouldn't spread to the rest of the internet or is there a downside to this notion which I'm not realizing?
