Sure. Now how do you propose to make sure that only good guys know about
bad things? Mathematically it is impossible. It is a set theory

I don't propose to "make sure" that only good guys know, I just suggest
that it is better to not spread the info publicly when you don't know who
is listening in. Why make the bad guys job easier?

WHy make the good guys job harder?  Am I only supposed ti find out about this
stuff when my network crashes?  Forwarned is forearmed!

As it is now, I usually find out about this stuff only after a hacker
leaves his "kit" behind.
