No. This is pure bullshit. There was a hole. The patch and the
errata had been up for -ages-. Anybody who really cares and really
pays attention had patched and been happy for nearly a week. The
logic behind the misc posting is so very obvious that to bitch
about it is just finding something to complain about. I, of course,
don't know the exact numbers but it seems pretty clear that misc
has a much larger subscriber base than security-announce. Given
that it just makes sense to post this to the list where the most
people are going to see it.
Actually, I think you're wrong. Majordomo at lists.openbsd.org
reports 11323 subscribers to security-announce and only 3866 for
misc. It really surprised me when I saw it, I thought misc would
have had at least more than ~4000. Whether they're correct or not
though, most people probably think security-announce is the important
one to watch.
