And nothing comes out. Oh, except this, a specification for pushing ads on you based on your location.

You probably also missed the first sentence of my comment, “aware that there are multiple, different teams responsible for each”, and that my commentary was on the PR perception of making your first announcement of the day “Hey, better ways to serve you ads”, and specifically -not- “they could have pushed this out faster had they moved a documentation team to security”.
Gotofail is not even close to amazingly easy to exploit since it requires a MITM.
iBeacons are not a way to serve better ads, although if you are focused on ad serving, you might see them that way.
Despite the fact that internally, there are different teams involved, it doesn’t lessen the PR perception that your priorities are in the wrong place when there’s radio silence on this critical security hole (and most reviews I’ve read seem to be of the opinion that this is a horrific hole), but yet you’re putting out press releases on a feature that holds little value beyond advertising.
Also I see you have chosen to repeat the falsehood iBeacon holds little value beyond advertising. That's just a statement about your lack of understanding of potential of the technology, but you say it as if it reflects poorly on Apple instead of you.
