I disagree with you. What are you talking about here is the responsibily of the sys admin, not the vendor. The opensource community is responsive to security bugs and usually have a patch to correct the problem within a short time. However, it is the responsibility of the sys admin to apply the patch and it is his/her responsibility to monitor the security issues and respond accordingly.
