    I think that a policy of issuing "early warning" advisories, as Colin
    Percival extrapolated from my original post, is one right solution. That
    is, an incomplete advisory is better than no advisory at all, when bug
    details (i.e. patch) are already circulating.

    Some other OS vendors issue advisories that say little more than "hurry up
    and download the patch," but at least those make admins aware that an
    issue exists. I'd be happy to help make a (better, obviously) "early
    warning system" happen for FreeBSD, if people agree that it's a good idea.
    We're all on the same boat here.

    Regards,
