Anything that makes people more aware of security issues, what's involved in exploiting vulnerabilities, and how the other side things about these things, is a very good thing.
The vast majority of programmers don't know a thing about security. Anything that can be done to improve that, even in the slightest, is a great thing for this world.

- speleding 14y agoLike I said, I'm not in favor of keeping it a secret, and I am all for making people aware, but "making people aware" does not have to be giving copy/paste examples to script kiddies of how to do the exploit within 24 hours of it being reported.
