As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, this has been Google's disclosure policy for more than three years.

Stop spreading FUD without evidence.

Looks like a conveniently written policy for hitting their competitors with to me. What is certain is that Google pick and choose when to apply these disclosure time limits, they're not set in stone.

I guess it can look however you want it to look, if you've already decided that you know the truth.

No, just sceptical of their claim to be protecting users by disclosing early.
