Apparently, according to Luke-jr who's subscribed, Bitcoin Core still hasn't even bothered to use their announcement mailing list (specifically set up for security issues and new releases) to warn about CVE-2018-17144 yet (a security issue fixed in a new release no less!). That's pretty incompetent if you ask me.
The announcement of the new release and fix was sent to it.  You mean the guy who controls bitcoin.org isn't subscribed to it? That' s pretty ... suboptimal, if you ask me. Smiley

It's easy to point fingers and assert that the world would be better if other people acted according to your will instead of their own free will,  harder to look at your own actions and contemplate what you could to to improve things.  To risk making the same mistake myself: Instead of calling people who owe you nothing incompetent, you could offer to help...  Just a thought.  It's the advice that I've tried to follow myself, and I think it's helped improve the world a lot more than insults ever would.
