If something goes into public CVS i consider it therefore public and it should be adressed by an advisory as soon as possible.

I'd say that's fair enough.

I have no problem with keeping and unpatched bug a secret. I kept #260560 secret for 3 months before releasing a public advisory - and requested multiple status reports before (with no success). But silent CVS check-ins are just security by obscurity.

Thank you for your responsible attitude :-)
