I think I've explained the situation as well as I can. The risks noted are being overblown IMHO. I'm well aware of the potential in shared hosting environments and I explained why the risk there (should) be very low. I cannot control how hosting providers allow users to share information which frankly shouldn't be shared. Nor can I control how hosting providers may or may not manage their shared environments in an appropriate manner (a fundamental issue of security on their part).

These two issues are therefore, IMO of low priority. We don't ignore these problems, hence the announcement and explanation. I should add that I did not give permission for the original reporter to disclose my email conversations with him ... I could have persued that if I'd wished. However I decided it may help explain the situation and thus let it go. The issues raised will more than likely be addressed in a future release. However as I've noted at this time the risk attributable to them is low.
