True words!
However, since the SecTeam of FreeBSD always did a great job, in this 
specific case, which had quite a huge coverage in the "press", at least 
a Heads Up to freebsd-security@ saying something like "Stay tuned for a 
patch folks, we're investigating" would have been appropriate.
When everybody tries to get mad, and that's what happened, a statement 
like that could have calmed things done in the first place.
But maybe I missed that heads up, 'cause I jumped into this discussion 
quite late...

Well, anyway, SecTeam, keep up the good work :)

Cheers,
./Marian
