Imagine boeing and some engineers working on fixing an engine flaw for 6 months without notifying airlines that owns that model of the planes.
Like previously mentioned, the exploit code isn't the problem, it is just as much users not patching.
I don't think clouding the problem is going to make hackers target other os's instead, but rather cause the users to be less security oriented thus making the exploiting of old and known holes easier.
