If it's true that they don't publish or limit distribution to 'need to know', they may well be responsible for the next crash due to FADEC s/w problem
I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but FADEC s/w isn't exactly exclusive to the military. Having worked (commercial) FADECs for 30 years, it's almost unimaginable to me how what was reported to have happened could have happened. So it's critical for aviation safety that they release some sort of report of how they messed up.
As I noted earlier, several commercial operators - and the FAA - have asked how we make sure this couldn't happen on to us. It's pretty hard to answer that question if the way it happened to them is intentionally covered up...
