I agree that the vendor should be notified first.

Then we agree. I think 6 months is sufficient time for vendors to respond. After that only official groups such as CERT should be notified, and anything else considered criminally negligent. But keep in mind this puts you at odds with open source leaders like Linus Torvalds who believe in what they call "full disclosure", meaning let the hackers and everyone know asap.

I (and others here) have always claimed that we don't all follow "OSS leaders'" beliefs. Until now, you have refused to believe that.

I expect you to remember this newfound belief when you start looking for topics to smear us with.
