The whole "vulnerability disclosure" process is a ridiculous by-product of the even more destructive "vulnerability discovery" process. It's always kind of cute to say that people are making a lot of money doing something to validate it. The fact that mass tribute is required due to the inextricably-linked domination by the techno-elitists over my grandmother, et.al. says nothing about its impact on the nature of the 'Net's risk, which bugfinders are driving up, not down, by necessity. I know exactly who you think you are helping, but feel free not to - "help" should be determined by the recipient, not the blackmailer...er, bugfinder. That is the problem with "help" in this area - it forces other people into servitude.

The whole "vulnerability discovery" process is a ridiculous by-product of the even more destructive "vulnerability insertion" process. It's always kind of cute to say that people are making a lot of money doing something to further it. The fact that click-wrap licenses are required due to the inextricably-linked domination by the techno-elitists over my preschool daughter, et. al., says nothing about its impact on the nature of the 'Net's risk, which software companies are driving up, not down, by necessity.
