The Apache vulnerability: why disclosure of this problem so early?

I think it is important to mention the vulnerability was
detected during a test, there was no indication of anyone
using this to compromise any server.
Especially in cases like this, there is time to consult
the makers of the software and to find a fix, before
seeking publicity.
