While I think the story's title could be more mature, I think that the outrage in the article is justified. Intel didn't notify any of the BSD teams of the vulnerability during and after the embargo period, leaving anyone running a BSD vulnerable for a longer period after the disclosure.
IMO, it's a good thing that this issue gets publicity... if only so that the 'lesser' open source projects don't get ignored in the future.
- ric2b 9y agoI might be wrong but wasn't it BSD that a few months ago released information on a critical vulnerability before the embargo was lifted? I think it was the WPA2 handshake vulnerability. I remember people saying that BSD would probably no longer receive information about embargoed vulnerabilities because of that.

BSD is not an operating system unless your referring to the original Berkley Unix. Are talking about FreeBSD?, OpenBSD?, NetBSD?, DragonflyBSD? Remember they are all different operating systems.
