You're watering down the meaning of Orwellian just a tad here but sure, "responsible" has a value judgment baked in that "coordinated" is mercifully free of. On the other hand, "coordinatedly disclosed" doesn't work as well in a sentence.
- tptacek 4y agoIt's Orwellian because the term was deliberately chosen in order to coerce researchers into accepting the priorities of vendors (by implicitly rendering non-"responsible" disclosure "irresponsible"). I think it's actually one of the better modern examples of Orwellian language in tech.
