No, the answer is for Google et al to act responsibly - by all means hunt each other's bugs but don't then use them to indirectly threaten end users.

We've seen the rumblings about Win10 and the fears of loss of test time and patch management, but that's exactly what Google were trying to force. I see few sys admins running Windiws estates who relish on the fly quick patching to timescales like the ones Google arbitrarily set and now seemingly can't deliver to in their own code bases. :-/
