I believe the "hoarding the fix" comment was in reference to the patches for Server 2003, XP, and Windows 8 that were released publicly for the first time over the weekend (but had been distributed previously to customers paying for custom support) [0].

I guess I don't see it that way. Extended support (which includes security patches) are only for paying customers.
