Are you going to take responsibility of getting this done? In this case,
I think marking these libs forbidden is really, really the wrong thing to
do. We should have learned from Micro$oft that the apps drive people to
the OS, not the otherway around. You are now removing what some may say
is the most important application today from running on FreeBSD. Maybe
that would be the last straw to send a user to another version of Unix?
