Of course we already have notified Google.

I was hoping for a little more granularity. Google is a large place; as is
Red Hat I know. There was word that Red Hat was working with Google on a
solution, and I was hoping to hear if there was any movement.

I can't ask Red Hat since we don't pay for it, but perhaps the new CentOS
relationship with them can offer a channel of communication for the
Community.
