The reason to complain is that he is not notifying the development
team before hand. Giving them absolutely no chance to work on a
fix prior to the whole world freaking out over these bugs.

If I was your neighbor, and I noticed your front door was open I
would contact you and let you know... not take out a full page
ad in the local news paper! Same idea applies here. :)

Also, if I'm not mistaken this guy isn't on "staff".
