While the leaked code may ease the work of malware writers, keep in mind that whoever writes malware regularly tests against all popular antivirus software.

No point in releasing something only to get caught right away.

This is true, but if a test doesn't work with KAV, arguably it is now much easier to figure out why and find a workaround.
