I agree. I think even tcpdump, libpcap, and ssl stuff should be in ports. Currently these are in the src/contrib tree. I know they currently have utility there for the base system. We moved the base away from perl dependence, I think these dependencies should be worked out as well. I really dislike -stable and -release having out-of-date versions of these packages. This is only my personal opinion. I think the WITH_XXXX_OVERWITE_BASE make options help substantiate it, however.
