There is also a negative impact when one posts an item titled "Don't worry,
WordPress is safe". It shows doubt. If Mark fears is concerned the privacy
of his poison (plug-ins), then he should toss a blank index in the plug-ins
directory. If you accept his argument and post clarifications about this
so-called 'vulnerability', what will be next?

People could start a commotion over other aspects which are consiered more
serious 'vulnerabilities'. Users could argue about serious matters like the
reluctance to lock WordPress after a particular number of failed logins
(still?) or the disclusion of 'out of the box' DDOS attack protection.
