This time, the "ready" will be the following Tuesday. Google didn't respect this, effectively providing the 0-day to the world.
There are bad guys looking for 0-days out there. If they learn about the vulnerability from the patch, at least the world has the patch before the bad guys do. Now it's the opposite.
Edit: See _wmd's explanation about the technical details of all this in the same level of the answers.
