gee, talking to customers is a waste of time.   Now I dont understand
the specifics of this issue but the way the establishment is attacking
the messenger makes me suspect there is a real security concern.   My
reaction to calling a vendor to double check if I was vulnerable to
the canonical exploit and being told that the vendor had anticipated
the problem and prevented the exploit would be increased regard for
the vendor and confidence in the product.  All in all, time well spent
by the vendor.
