Being against anyone who publishes information about vulnerabilities is foolish. If the average Joe can't read about vulnerabilities, how can he protect himself?

Hackers don't have to publish information in order to share it, especially if they are working together.

Note also that the most reliable reports about vulnerabilities are posted by anti-virus and security companies. How will stopping them help?
