Why doesn't Apple release their internal roadmap? Because others would take advantage of that information.

Same thing with intelligence. People don't know your gaps in intelligence gathering if it's all secret. If they do, they'd take advantage of of that information and just work around them.

Because if it's not secret, it's public information and not intelligence anymore?
