Considering that you've already described the problem on pgsql-hackers,
I hardly see how further discussion is going to create a bigger security
breach than already exists.

(I'm of the opinion that the problem is mostly a client problem anyway;
AFAICS the issue only comes up if client software fails to consider
encoding issues while doing escaping.  There is certainly no way that
we can magically solve the problem in a new PG release, and so trying
to keep it quiet until we can work out a solution seems pointless.)
