Hrm.

>From a marketing point of view, wouldn't it have been better to beat
the press to the punch? I mean, instead of having a news agency post
that there's a vulnerability, if we had released a press release, we
could have said "Yes, there's a small, user-interativity required
vulnerability, but a patch is in final QA and is going to be released
any time now".

Isn't part of marketing making sure there's a positive spin // spin control?
