Maybe some background... we run both a public and private pool network... we noticed a fork... we were the first to announce it... we alerted the dev... we were told that the technical side of the dev time was asleep(literally)... we have been in constant contact with Klondikecoin... we made the choice to push ahead with a fix... the dev knew this... we spent nearly 4 hours of writing and testing the fix... we pushed everything to Github as soon as we confirmed that the fix worked for us... we informed the dev of the fix and code changes... we announce we had a fix and that the fix was on Github... the dev team has reviewed the fix... it has become the unofficial fix... and we have made a huge effort to not take over the network including closing pool registrations... and as far as I know the technical dev team has not yet woken up.
Would have you preferred that we let KDC burn?
In addition, the second we mined the first block and verified it working, I was on the thread letting people know we had a initial fix. There was no secrecy. If you'd like I'll pull up the exact time of the block and the time of my announcement.

Edit:
Announcement was made at 3:16:18PM forum time about the github fork.
At 18:47:17PM, my server time(3:47:17PM forum time), we found the first block. At that time I verified that it was broadcast to another pool op.
At 3:50:24PM forum time, I made an announcement that we were mining. That's 31 minutes between when I announced the code, and when we found our first block, and then 3 minutes to when we announced it in the forums.Kheg, you can go ahead and verify if you'd like.
