Are memory leak fixes described as memory leak fixes in the logs or intentionally omitted as such? Are kernel panics or hangs not described in the commit logs even if they only happen in weird scenarios? Thats clearly not what’s happening meaning security bugs are still differently recorded and described through omission.
However you look at it, the only real justification that’s consistent with observed behaviors is that pointing out security vulnerabilities in the development log helps attackers. That explains why known exploitable bugs are reported differently before hand and described differently after the fact in the commit logs. That wouldn’t happen if “a bug is a bug” was actually a genuinely held position.
