Even now you still think it's useful to hide information from the "general public" and avoid "extra publicity"?! The cat is out of the bag. You can no longer negotiate with this reality. Publicly disclosing a bug is like birthing a baby. Once it's sticking halfway out, just get it all the way out because it's counterproductive to try to hold parts of it back in.
