Don't see where your flamebait actually changes anything. It certainly provides nothing new, because you can say "they're rude" all day, the question is is the bug in question fixed, and when. Yes, the chances are very good that a bug submitter is going to get a "patch or GTFO" response. In the overall scheme of things, I'd say that's as good as can be expected, given many other groups respond with legal threats.

Well, in a normal situation, I'd say yes, but Linux's response to all bugs is similar, patch it as soon as there's a good patch. Now if it were a certain company in Redmond that scales its response based on customer "value", yeah, security bugs had best get fast-tracked. I honestly prefer the "fix all bugs and don't embargo fixes" response that linux does to the "when we discover bugs (heartbleed), we'll let the Cool Kids in on it first and then release it weeks later to the average user" response that Google does
