Well, I believe such a message, based on some type of "hometown pride", 
could be confusing to some people.

Many people are running earlier releases of 4.x, and they do not have
2.3.0   (e.g. 4.0-release has Open-SSH-1.2.2), and therefore are
probably vulnerable (1) .
Those who are running 3.5-STABLE and have ssh from the ports collection,
                          ^^^^^^
(many people do use ssh) are probably (1) vulnerable as well.

I believe (and hope), security-officer's team is already working on the 
fix and the advisory.

(1) Note: Unless it is not vulnerable due to some specifics of FreeBSD
implementation, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

PS.
I'd say you response does not "cover all bases", 
but rather is an ostrich-like behavior:
"My head is hidden, something else ?" :)))
Nothing personal, just let's not to confuse people with a false sense
of that everything is fine.
