Some possible ways it could be useful are

- Stop the reliance on 'security by obscurity'

- Motivate cooperation on how to secure these facilities or decentralize their function where possible.

- Inform public discussion on these issues which may possibly lead to new ideas / solutions

I'm not saying that it will necessarily be a net benefit but it certainly is possible.
