As far as whether hoarding vulnerabilities is “good”, clearly it is not! But I don’t see a plausible mechanism for KE to wipe it out. If we’re just playing “what if” then I still don’t know. It’s an honestly complicated questions with arguments both ways.
Yes, because here's the thing about exploits - you can't stop other people using them against you, your allies, civilians, etc. That's why fixing them is a good thing, and hoarding them puts everyone at risk - including the hoarder.

Thanks! They're already supposed to be doing that, it's called the Vulnerability Equities Process, and is supposed to balance the risks. We can debate if it's working (I don't think so), but the point is there's an understanding there's a balance.

I think some people are, which bothers me. If you're not, then we're probably on the same page (or at least the same chapter!
