Alright children...

Can we stop with these useless ad hominem attacks?  All of us?  Thanks.

Listen: some people have open access to exploits, some don't.  You're 
all right, and you're all wrong... 

And the final answer to all questions raised here is... it depends.

How's that sound? :)  Thanks.

p.s.  We don't want to give people who can't get access that access, and 
there are a lot of people who have a lot of access and there's nothing 
we can do to stop it.  Back, oh, 10 years ago when things like this 
happened on Bulletin Board Systems,  I remember that there were these 
blacklists that were distributed to keep people off of said boards.  If 
a person showed themselves to be untrustworthy, they got booted and 
added to the blacklist.  Not  to mention that getting access in the 
first place wasn't usually the easiest thing.  This is, obviously, much 
harder to control in this day and age, but even in those days the script 
kiddies got ahold of code and methods they weren't supposed to have.  
Like I said, the answer is "it depends...".  There's no unifying rule 
here.
