The problem was that it revealed product timelines and, in a handful of cases, new products and/or features prior to their announcement.


As you well know, Apple is an extremely secretive company. As well, the rumors community has an amazing ability to pry apart the most innocuous of statements into "news about future products" that eventually wind their way into the Wall Street analysts hands. Amazing process, really.

But what about very simple bugs like 4247630 that I filed almost a year ago: NZERO not XSI compliant. Apple could fix the value in their header file (or not, if they don't want to be XSI compliant) and make a note about it. I seriously doubt this is going to cause any waves on Wall Street. "Oh noes! They've changed a define in one header. Sell!"


If there's any doubt at all, they could do what they do now and say nothing. Feature requests for instance. For simple bugs like the fact that 20 was mistyped as 0 (and in the wrong header for that matter), well...
