It's more likely to boost the zero day black market. I don't know if I want to attribute this to idiocy (indiscriminate cost cutting), greed (contracts for their crony pals) or malice (hoarding and trading 0 days).
The trick is that there's more than one person involved in making these things happen. In this way, greed, malice, and idiocy can work hand in hand. Such is entropy.
