I understand, but that could be a problem to people that are already 
reading on a "different" group.

Your comments are easier to understand that Arlen (aka Maria) posts. He 
is not clearly explaining the issues and wants people to read a lot of 
documentation, instead of just posting an actual summary of the 
situation with explanations.

Ie, what was Apple doing, why is that bad, what have they changed, is 
that enough and why, what are the actual dangers to people.

Complete, and short text.

Most people here get a free (rented, not purchased) router with AP from 
their ISP. When they move house, the old router has to be returned to 
the ISP (nominally), and they get a new router automatically when 
contracting a connection at the new location. So they don't have a problem.

Some of those might have a secondary AP of their own.

Only people that buy a router or AP have a problem. And most do not 
care. I don't. Only those that are using _nomap or perhaps those that 
hide the SSID.
