Mozilla's 'Code of Silence' Isn't
Jon Lasser, 2002-10-09

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

I agree - stop jumping off your high horse and read the article. The author is not saying that the bugs should be hidden, but that the public fanfare that accompanies many bugs today isnt necessary. If you want to see what security bugs are there it is easy - most of them are even in the release notes. But there is no point sending a huge internet broadcast for every minor security problem that isnt going to affect most people. All it does is make people ignore security warnings entirely!
