I understand the worries. The news have reached the front page of Slashdot, and thus might reach certain technically inclined managers, which in turn may cause questions about contingency plans to be directed at the IT staff. I have a feeling that "I have no contingency plan, don't worry, the problem will be solved" is not such a good answer to such queries.
Thus, the worrying.
tell said managers to open the coffers and pay for support if they are that worried
