But thats not how the security community works. Once this was posted literally every security team jumped on writing a PoC exploit and distributing it to customers. There will be point and click modules in Metasploit, IMPACT, and CANVAS by the end of the week at latest.
This is the key bit for me: Rubygems is literally straining with everyone being frantic to upgrade. Giving it a few days means that everyone can patch their apps.
I don't believe that everyone will listen to little old me, of course, but that doesn't mean I can't tell them I don't think it's a not-great thing to do.
