I think it is a really bad idea not to mark ports that have known holes that can be used to penetrate your machine as FORBIDDEN. We are trying to produce a good, secure system here. If we do not mark them as FORBIDDEN, they will wind up on the cdrom and people will install them. Then they will yell in bugtraq that we don't care about security and we get more bad PR. If someone really wants this port, they should be forced to hack the Makefile to remove the FORBIDDEN line.
