You are mindguarding the group against dissent here. That's a symptom of groupthink. Someone has voiced displeasure and said they are "out" so their opinion no longer counts even if they still own the product? People reading this need to know how customers feel about this issue.
Another symptom of groupthink is illusion of invulnerability. How long has Netgear known of this issue? I've read Acew0rm notified them in August. If so that's quite the response lag. And apparently the canard about keeping remote management turned off isn't quite the panacea it seemed before this vulnerability hit.
Maybe Netgear needs to buckle down and get less reactive and more proactive.
As our investigation continues we will provide further updates to our security advisory. Thank you for your patience.
