Sergey,

That's not very fair of you to go and change around the scope of the
argument. I didn't mean to imply at any point that we should go making big
posts about "uh there's a problem, we'll let 'ya know when we have details".
You've changed the argument to say the same thing I'm saying - when we have
the details about problems that will blow people's systems up, we need to
make some decently sized announcements about them.

And while you may not be reading news.sourcemage.org, other people are
reading it and not the mailing lists. The lists & website aren't just about
you and me.
