Why this change in heart? You've always gone with full disclosure in the
past. Did all of the complaints finally get to you guys? I'm not
complaining, you've done lots of good in the past, IMHO, and am just a
bit surprised by this.
I think that the biggest pro of full disclosure, is that it get's people
off their butts and gets a good solution or patch that much faster.
