Isn't that a bit overkill? Ports that have security issues are marked FORBIDDEN so users can't install them. If people want extra securirty they can use portaudit which checks the vuxml databases automatically. I also think it would be very hard to check vuxml manually in many cases, since ports can have a lot of dependencies, which might also contain security problems. --=20 Simon L.
