> The project has historically done a poor job at publicly disclosing security-critical bugs, whether externally reported or found by contributors. This has led to a situation where a lot of users perceive Bitcoin Core as never having bugs. This perception is dangerous and, unfortunately, not accurate.
I have to say this is one of the most compelling statements I've seen from the bitcoind/Bitcoin Core team in over 10 years. Many other projects have been on the receiving end of this misperception, and it has in fact caused material harm to the community. I don't know what precipitated this change, but props to you all for stepping up.
Best,
