What you are describing is what we did for years and we would love to go back to that once the inappropriate behavior of the moderators ends.

Based on your message you don’t seem to be aware of that, which would dispute what you said about publicity. The truth is that you don’t actually get much publicity for doing things that way or doing other things that actually improve security, which is a big problem with the incentive structure surrounding security and the state of security journalism.

When that sort of thing does get coverage it looks like it is often due to security companies significantly overstating the impact of vulnerabilities, so you end with a lot of FUD and not much useful security coverage.
