I think a lot of people have a misconception that team unrEVOked won't share their exploit because they're being mean or some other malicious reason. The real reason they won't release their exploit is because the second they do, guess what HTC will do? If your guess was patch this vulnerability on every single device VIA OTA maintenance update, and include said patch on every single future device, you are correct.
These guys created a product and found an exploit that works on multiple devices. This is an amazing accomplishment. If you view unrEVOked as a "product" and with the knowledge that if the manufacturer (HTC) figures out how you make your product that manufacturer will prevent you from doing so, it's smart business to protect your product. I'd do the exact same thing in these guys position.
The issue I take with unrEVOked, and this is just MHO, is anyone can do it without any understanding of what they could potentially do to their device. The reason I don't like that is, once rooted you have an incredible amount of freedom to change, flash, adjust .... and also get yourself into hot water pretty darn quick. It's not team unrEVOked's responsibility to give people an IQ or reading comprehension test prior to letting them use their product. It's the consumers responsibility to to ensure they properly understand the ramifications of their actions. Because this team has made it as easy as pushing a button, people are now skipping past the countless hours of reading in which you pick up some invaluable knowledge. This same knowledge later translates into the ability to troubleshoot your own device should something go wrong.
I think what teams like unrEVOked are doing is the future. Were going to continue to see more and more plug and play root methods for devices. This is something we're just going to have to accept, and adjust how we think about things.
