"Coy?" Please explain. I am confused. (edited to remove reference to accidental anonymity, which did not apply)

Very simple, any thread you look at, its always you trading insults with someone -- and you just did it again in Re: Perl 5.16 binary filename security problem? -- yeah chip, we saw that already in the other thread, we're not on the private security list, we're wondering what the issue is, if it isn't real, well then EXPOSE it

    That's not how security response teams work. They accept reports, make patches, and coordinate releases for bugs. They don't publicize non-bugs.

    Also, Reini already publicized it. Didn't notice? Yeah, that's because it's not a problem, so far as anyone can figure.

      Huh? PerlMonks is not a security team

      Well, if the "relevant discussions" are on a private list, there apparently is more to it

        PerlMonks is not a security team

        No, but the group that received Reini's mail -- and whom you're asking to disclose the contents of that mail -- are.

        there apparently is more to it

        No, there really isn't.
