In fact though, we've already been addressing these concerns, and the freebsd security officer team will be working closely with the apple security team to coordinate fixing and disclosure of vulnerabilities. We're hoping to pass on some of our experience doing this for the last n years to help streamline Apple's security process as they adjust to supporting the new OS.
