I believe including some ports in our collection does not mean we are
encouraging people to use them. It just means that they have an
option to use them. And what's wrong with including true fact in the
description? And as I see the COMMENT and the DESCR files, they are
not encouraging anyone to do anything, they are just stating what the
port is for. And of course, it is totally up to each user how the
program is going to be used after installation.
Cheers,
