Releasing vulnerability information in blogs - a new trend?

This happened with IIS 5.1 Source Disclosure Under FAT/FAT32 Volumes Using WebDAV issue
http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-September/037019.html

Is this a new trend or something, this IIS vulnerability release was similar as a previous IIS 5/6 500-100.asp "SERVER_NAME" issue published via (same) Norwegian blog.
Some possible problems:
-report format used in blogs
-possible unofficial blog comments (anonymous exploit codes published etc.)
-vendors has no time to look for new blog entries

Juha-Matti
