And this is why I said that people here were making a mountain out of a molehill, and yet they still thought they knew better..

This doesnt alter the fact there should be a deidcated secutity page where facts can be published and the process of reporting new security issues. It would help everyone and avoid posts like yours where the community is either arguing against each other or towards the developers.

They do have a a dedicated security page, it's just not on the forums, it's where it's supposed to be, on the github pages. There is also nothing to stop people from looking at the CVE pages to see what the dangers are, as everything is typically spelled out there in plain english (exactly what I posted). Yes we have a lot of ignorant users on the forums, but anyone with a functional brain would know to look at these places, and dumbing things down to the common people is something that I'd argue only needs to be done when it's something serious, which the dev team has done in the past, and this was not serious. Otherwise, people blow things out of proportion and get their knickers in a twist and start saying things they don't understand while puffing out their chests and act like they understand what they are talking about..

A little knowledge is dangerous, specially when those that have it don't understand what they have while claiming they do.
