This applies to any vulnerable package like apache or png. We already have means of dealing with this like ports updating and vuxml. I'm talking about stability here. Adobe silently shipped another version and our port become unbuildable because distfile wasn't available anymore. Making up mirror with archive versions saves us the time when port wasn't updated yet but we have no directions of retrieving old verified distfile. -- Sphinx of black quartz judge my vow.
