complain? for those individuals with the port in question installed and who wait for an advisory to take action in updating their source would have had a possible security breach from the time realized to the time an advisory is issued. Wouldn't you want an advisory as soon the bug was found? Even though the samba bug is not of major concern what if it were more serious? Would you want to leave your mission critical servers open to attack?
