We decided that since almost all FreeBSD code is shared with other systems (most notably, DragonFlyBSD), there wasn't much point in keeping this field. The task of identifying all the different systems affected by any particular bug is best left to CVE, so we confine ourselves to identifying where the problem exists in our tree (e.g., is it contrib code or not?) and listing the CVE name so that people can look up other affected systems if they wish.
