Chapeau!
I wonder if the alleged increase in business after this exemplary disclosure will ring a bell with beancounters at other security-relavant enterprises :-D
Hey Jon, where was your prediction that 2011 would see the first security incident related PR triumph for open source? ;)

Tarsnap is not free software.

No, but it is (partially) open source. Not Free Software, but the Source is there.

I'll concede to that, I just took the time to re-read the Open Source definition. Sorry for the error.
