It takes a bit of time to write articles and test cases, so "immediate" is not that descriptive of what really happens.

And early would be compared to the release of the patch, of course.

"unilateral disclosure", to contrast with "coordinated"?

Well, "unilateral" has darker undertones than "early" to my ears, but I'm not a native English speaker. "Prompt disclosure" anyone?
