I've been in this guy's shoes.
I used to code a particular project that was somewhat popular in its own little niche. Some guy trying to make a name for himself must have gone through the docs and done everything it said not to; then reports that in such a case, it's insecure.
The other project members and I basically said "well stop doing everything it says not to". But Jerome makes a web page about it; generates a lot of buzz. We amended our docs to restate that if you do all the dumb things, you'll look dumb. And we linked to his page.
Not proud, but we had bigger fish to fry.
Replace that guy with this guy, who will do that to you over legitimate security concerns.
