You know what - when nobody does embargoes, I'll consider your argument to have a point.
In the meantime, I'm not in the least interested in your idiotic arguments. Especially as you can't even read what I wrote:

Exactly. I don't embargo them. I refuse to have anything to even _do_ with organizations like vendor-sec that I think is a corrupt cluster-fuck of people who just want to cover their own ass.
They're just normal bugs.
But that also doesn't mean that I see any reason to make it obvious what to do to trigger them, and cause problems at universities and such. So I don't do "here's how to exploit it" commit logs, for example.
(If you haven't been at a univerisity, you don't know how many smart young people want to "try it to see". And if you have been there, and don't think it's a problem when they do and wouldn't be happier if they didn't, you probably don't know what the word "empathy" means).
