However, it's highly surprising that the Apache developers call the
iDefense approach "reasonable disclosure".  Is it reasonable to
disclose critical information on new security vulnerabilities to
potential but paying blackhats *on* *the* *same* *day* *the* *vendors*
*are* *notified*?


I think what the apache developers might be saying may sound something
closer to ' I/We think that this type of disclosure is more realistic' (

Assuming that their was a blackhat that developed the hack and it had been
0day for a while with that particular blackhat/or blackhatters....)
