Should someone from the core team perhaps get in contact with this guy
and ask if he could get in contact with the development team before
publicizing any further security holes? AFAIK that is standard
operating procedure in most cases...

Second, it might be worth pushing a 7.2.2 release containing the fix
for this bug, as well as the datetime problem. If that sounds
reasonable to the people who have to do the most work on a new release
(e.g. Marc), I can volunteer to backport a fix for the datetime
problem.

Cheers,

Neil
