I am on FreeBSD for more than 20 years, running FTP service on almost all our servers but it never was ftpd from base. I saw other comments against removing it but from my point of view ftpd in base is useless for me. And I don't see much cases where FTP service is needed before any other package / port can be installed. As always there will be at least two groups of users one for, one against.
