 well. this bulletin recommends using it:
 http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-10.html so i guess it
 doesn't matter if it's an official release or just a patch-release.

 i guess marking the port deprecated is the right thing to do. ignore should be
 used when there's an actual problem with the port which isn't the case. also
 VuXML's last entry for flash 7 is this one:
 http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/562cf6c4-b9f1-11dc-a302-000102cc8983.html
 
 so according to them the version in the ports isn't affected by any security
 issue. however
 http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/04c6187d-2d8f-11dd-98c9-00163e000016.html and
 http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/78f456fd-9c87-11dd-a55e-00163e000016.html only
 mention flash 9 as affected port although the description says that earlier
 version might be affected too. might be that the adobe security bulletins
 dropped flash 7 support.
 
 > no other ports about adobe products has trouble, as I know.
 
 i'll try to come up with a small patch to mark flash 7 deprecated.
