Why the massive downvotes when contributing to the issue he raises?

> Apple appears to be in no rush to fix the first one, I wouldn't bet my money on this vulnerability getting a fix any time soon, either ...

As it was clearly stated, there is a fix. Whether or not they'll release a 10.10 patch remains to be shown, and "no rush" is speculation.

I'll never understand the HN crowd, but I guess providing additional information to clear up a false statement, while correcting OPs assumptions is against the rules.
