That is somewhat dangerous, since it could lead to unwanted experimentation.
We can't assume that there aren't eavesdroppers on this list.
When I worked for a major vendor in the software (and hardware) field, this
was debated endlessly. We always fell back on the position that we would
announce a security hole when the a patch was available, not before.

I think an email should be sent to this list as well.
