It's a fine line sometimes. I think your commit is mostly defensible. It's really an open question. What do you do when you point out a serious security issue and it doesn't get the attention it deserves? I think your commit definitely proved that the issue was being downplayed far too much. Is there some better middle ground? If proving a vulnerability results in it getting fixed overnight and merely describing it results in it getting fixed never then what's the right course of action?
