Black Hats
My guess would be that if you were in front of a firing squad, you would refuse the blindfold. I don't get what you want! Immediate notification of security vulnerabilites - and then b*tch at the company for 30 days until they fix it - OBTW the news sites would have moved on by then, so there would be NO coverage after that initial week of stories. What's the difference between the Black Hats knowing of a vulnerability for 6 months or 7 months? Is that extra 30 days going to make or break them? Smart Black Hats would be looking for the next vulnerability once they found one so they would always keep their game going. I guess you're just one of those people that can't keep a secret and has to BLAB it out the first chance they get. Loose lips sink ships or was that saboteurs that sink ships . . .
