What did they say when you contacted them to let them know that they had a lot of debugging information that might not be so secure?

Just like I wouldn’t link to some site and say “look, you can do SQL injection here.”

My comment about WordPress is that people are writing templates, plugins etc without really having the background they need to write secure, high-quality code. It’s just so easy to do, that a lot of people can do it. It’s like Visual Basic in a way.

I did a Google search for what you wrote, and all I get is an “arts round up” blog, and of course the 100 zillion places that this very blog is fed to.

Without any reason from you, the reader is left to guess as to why you refuse to link to someone who is using a Percona build. Seems odd, wouldn’t you want people to see that the Percona build works well behind an application like WordPress? The content doesn’t look offensive, and I don’t see you as someone who’s against the arts.

And how did WordPress make it easy to use the Percona build? Didn’t you do that yourself by making binaries?
