Subject: Beta Advisories

Yes, and the OIS guidelines are thinly veiled "Oh please don't tell the 
world that we have had this bug for 6 months...we'll look bad" methods for 
being able to quash the full disclosure model and take the  pressure of 
"respond to me, get it fixed, or thr world is going to know about it" off 
the vendors.  Do you really think that the vendors will expend resources 
to fix things just because it is "the right thing to do"?   Please tell me 
you're not that naive...please. 

I'm not advocating playing bombs away, sneak attacking a vendor by issuing 
a 0-day disclosure publicly.  I sure as hell am saying that a vendor 
knowing the vuln will in fact be disclosed after a reasonable period of 
time, fixed or not, has certainly motivated more than a few to get the fix 
done prior to taking a public black eye.
