You have a good point, but I was looking at these two points:

1- Extent of the damage

2- Number of points vulnerable

Heartbleed had (has) a lot more servers vulnerable, but the impact is a lot lower and it is a lot harder to exploit to extract valuable data. In fact, I doubt you will see a compromise or a major issue because of heartbleed (despite the mass drama).

Compared to this problem with Drupal, that is used by the many of the top sites online, the overall damage can be a lot bigger.

Time will tell.
