There's nothing to see here. It was a simple miscommunication that has been fixed. The BSDs (as well as Linux distributions and commercial vendors) routinely share information through various channels, and will continue to do so. Despite occasional flareups, I do not believe there is any permanent animosity between the folks on these various security teams.
