I certainly agree here, as do we all, I think. Let me just again
point out that we don't know yet if this is what they say.

All of you who care, please show them that you do.
Either register for a developer account (free) and send

As an OSX admin I am with you all on this. Here's another place to speak up. This is the link from the icon in the OSX Dock.

I'm hoping they're in the process of doing the right thing and just haven't announced it yet. The wording of Apple's security announcement did make me wonder though.
