Does it? Intelligence agencies were among the first informed. Those are the bad guys.

I know "bad guys" is a harsh phrasing, but when it comes to encrypted communication, they are literally the definition of the adversary. Anybody in intelligence that doesn't play for my team is a "bad guy". And since everybody belongs to multiple conflicting teams, even a person who plays on one of my teams is a "bad guy" from the perspective of my other teams.

If the first place you go with a disclosure is to the intelligence community, you are hurting users.
