No, I'm really not trying to take things out of context, but what you wrote really makes it seem like the person who reports it matters.

Ignoring that, I agree that it's a dick move, but it's like our famous "well, technically" memes - the delivery might matter, but in the case of security issues, it really doesn't matter as much as the actual content.

"You have an issue, and I'm going to be a dick and release it in a week."

Yes, that would be a dick move, but someone acting like a dick doesn't mean that the Nix team shouldn't address the issue within that week, even if it does feel like extortion.

Also, those matrix links say nothing. I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with them, but I'm not downloading software to see whatever it is you want to share.
