WL needs to be publishing ticket system type notes on what they're
doing here. There need to be timeouts after which exploit code is
published regardless of what industry does with it or not. Need to be
saying they sent 8 itemized exploits to Microsoft, 13 to Android, etc.

With all this "making friends", what "making friends" is, or may end
up, going on with secrets in general?
Is there no Journo or Tech that can withstand the temptation,
or the externally imposed necessity, of becoming "friendly"?
