Certain parts of the BSD community keeps leaking stuff early, either by doing commits in public, or by talking about stuff in advance, before all the bits are in place to protect systems. Hell, they already leaked one this year, forcing a huge scramble all round to get patched out of the door. It has been a persistent issue for years. Why on earth would they still expect to be trusted?
It may well be just one or two people doing it, but their actions are screwing things up for an entire set of operating systems.
It's especially critical for coordination to happen on vulnerabilities like this one, where it requires a combination of microcode and kernel patches to be done in sync. If one distribution leaks early, all are put at nearly immediate significant risk.
