    From the article: "If someone discovered the combination of your bike lock, should they be able to publish it? I think the making it public part is the real sticking point."

    I would agree that no, the shouldn't be allowed to publish your bike lock combination. However, if someone discovered that the bike lock can be opened by sticking a pen in it, I should have a right to know that the lock I bought has a serious vulnerability. And the way for me to find out about it is that this information has been published.
