Hackers for years, including my hackers have been trying to do what TP
is doing. If folks from TP/3Com read Full-Disclosure list they'll know
even with "Full Disclosure" you cannot change companies to "fast up
their security response". It is neat that the folks at TP/3Com are
trying half disclosure tactics, but if agressive folks like you and me
can't change the bug priorty of high profile vendors, then its
unlikely a "reduced disclosure" policy on the TP/3Com sight is going
to turn heads. 3Com if they "really" want to get vendors to fix TP
reported bugs is to mail those disclosure not only to the TP/3Com site
but to the wider security community via mailing lists.
