Why bother patching an exploit that is not known to the public yet?
Finding it would be a lot of work. Maybe they would find another one to patch and the one that is kept private would remain unpatched. How would Nintendo know?
I personally wouldn't bother looking for an exploit in the code as long as it doesn't do any damage, but after it being released I would patch it as soon as possible. The potential damage is already done by its existence (not even mentioning the kexploits already available). Like with a disease waiting to break out. If you can't cure it, try holding it back as long as possible.
If people keeping those exploits private really wait for a patch, it would be the best bet to not patch anything at all until the end of the Wii U's life cycle when sales won't go any higher anymore regardless

"Let those kids have their homebrew, since we can't stop them anymore. But let's get the most out of it ourselves before."

And in the meantime there might be enough time to make sure those exploits will never surface at all (IOSU *cough*).
Looks reasonable to me. Any objections?

This is how a lot of users are thinking , there are easily like 20 post like this in the forum and all have great logic , I personally supported them but in the end the only one who can decide is MN1 so lets respect that and be a little more patient but honestly I really hoped that this would release before returning to school but¯\_(ツ)_/¯
