Great idea. We'll bust the guy who made it public that there is a major problem, and provided some proof. That will set a wonderful precident. Then people who find vulnerabilities and problems won't make them public, they'll keep them to themselves and their associates. Think about it. If Mixter hadn't provided this tool to the public, and ONLY people like Mafiaboy and the other idiots out there had it, then it would have been 10 times as hard to figure out what caused the problem. By providing these tools to the public, we get to skip the whole "how did they do it" part, and just concentrate on the "how can we fix it" part. If we start busting the people who find the problems, then we set ourselves way back. Think before you post.
