I am not an expert, but an argument I've heard before is that this is worse, because a "hint" that describes the impact in even broad terms has a good chance of giving attackers enough a clue to figure out what the issue is. Meanwhile it will not contain a patch or detailed mitigation steps (because that would be too specific) so even fully informed administrators will be left helpless until whenever "full disclosure" happens.
