Because nobody actually contacted me about the problem and I read about it
on linux-kernel like everybody else? Because I just got up and created the
patch? And because nobody has an exploit yet, and one may be hard or
impossible to create? And because people who care about these things tend
to not update to x.0 kernels anyway?

They'll get a 2.6.1 soonish. The patch is in the current BK tree, will be 
in -rc2, and will be in 2.6.1. Let's just make sure we don't screw up the 
release due to being too much in a hurry either..
