Well, if only the users were informed then others (who might not have clicked Install or have not yet installed this) would not know.
And I think it's better to know that there are problems, instead of keeping them secret.
It's the same with for example Browser security issues: Once they are discovered, the developers are being informed.
After a while the information gets made public on Full Disclosure or smth. like this, so users are aware of the problem and can take apropriate action before a patch is available.
If they don't do - it'sd their fault
But leaving them uninformed increases the risk, as users wouldn't even know that there are problems.
