Please don't buy into the idea that embargoes and coordinated disclosure are sacred. They tend to just reinforce existing power structures, sometimes in an unethical (or at least unfair) way.

They're an attempt to minimize harm, by getting things patched while minimizing information leaked to blackhats.

Just because giving preference to groups with a better reputation and more market share isn't "fair", doesn't mean it's automatically wrong. Now, if you can show that it actually doesn't help . . .

I didn't say it was automatically wrong. I said it was sometimes wrong, and not sacred.
