Latest databases/gnats Makefile had this for a while before removal of 
the port:

FORBIDDEN=	Security issues
DEPRECATED=	${FORBIDDEN}
EXPIRATION_DATE=	2011-09-30

So it's clearly not a mistake, but a portsmgr decision.

Also everything else has to be decided by portsmgr but a port with 
unfixed security issues over a long period of time seems a good 
candidate to be removed.

Interestingly on freefall `pkg_info -o '*gnats*'` gives:

Origin:
databases/gnats

I'm glad I'm not part of clusteradm ;) as this might break some day into 
pieces and needs attention.
