Developers are accused of not publicizing the browser's security vulnerabilities enough. But do we really need world wide alerts for every bug?

I can see what you are saying: don't shout every minor vunerability from the roof-tops otherwise people will soon start to ignore you.
Essentially agree with you, and no your are not mirroring the MS stance. You are saying let the secinfo, geeks and admins have their flood of advisories - just dont't force this information on Joe Blow, because he really doesn't care. As long as he can apply patch 'x' and trusts the people who tell him that's OK then he doesn't *need* to know. But the point here is that he *can* find out if he wants - not an option that MS are offering.
