3.1 exploit leaked. Geohot abandoning jailbreak efforts?

Early yesterday evening the chronic dev team leaked a recently discovered exploit much to the frustration of geohotz. He stated yesterday evening:

Minor setback today, when Chronic revealed the exploit that this will use. For apparently no purpose except to save face in front of their donators. Future reference, never donate until you have a product in hand and working. Look, as much as I fight with the dev team, they always have the community's interests at heart, maybe even more so than me. But chronic just stomped all over what the community wants. Who can actually do something with the info they released? Well, you know, Apple.

This could potentially be a huge set back for the jailbreak community as it's a well established fact that Apple are keeping a close eye on jailbreak websites and communities. In addition, although it seems to have been cleared up with a credit, geohot took issue with the fact he was first to discover the exploit and wasn't in a position to release it and the release led to a tweet stating he was done with his jailbreak efforts and would not be releasing.
