There is just no easy way to handle this and someone had to make the decision on who got what.

The reality is that the open source community isn't vetted like an intelligence agency when it comes to holding secrets to their vest. It only takes one person in all those OSS communities to leak to the press about something of this magnitude and then the result could be even worse. The fact that this was kept under wraps for 12 days (that we know) is a testament to the folks who made the decision whom to inform.
