Can the future release of Gargoyle fix this vulnerability? Should be easy to implement some kind of rate limiting WPN PIN tries, and enable option to disable WPS altogether.

This vulnerability does not affect any version of gargoyle.
This is not a security vulnerability in WPA security (which Gargoyle uses), it's a vulnerability in cracking the PIN code for "WPS", a system some factory firmware uses to make WPA security configuration easier (which Gargoyle does not use).
