I'm not surprised - three years ago, I said that would happen[1],
although I was expecting tighter cooperation between producers of
security holes (software vendors) and scanners.
When antivirus publishers have been accused of _secretely_ funding the
developement of new virii, they have been slammed by everyone. Oddly,
scanning for unknown vulnerabilities seems to be something worth to brag
about.
