i see nothing wrong with way it is now.
Do you consider shouting "fire"
in a fully crowded theater and to leave
people alone in the resulting panic to be an appropriate means?
It's at least how I perceived Paul's mail and the subsequent
"non-/dis-information policy" FPB, FESCO and RH have exhibited.
IMO, the question on which additional/alternative means to inform the
public would have been appropriate can not be answered before somebody
finally informs the public about what has happened.
One thing is for sure: This incident made a structural weakness of "the
Fedora system" apparent: Centralism.
Whatever might have happened it effectively paralyzed Fedora.

Yes, he likely better should have.
