Resolved is probably not the correct word as this will trigger a flurry of emails from -RELEASE users. A solution might be to modify bsd.port.mk to detect OSVERSIONs that don't have the fix, then add a dependency on sysutils/pkg_install. The problem then comes to package users who may not have a /usr/ports at all. If they don't know to use the pkg_install tools in LOCALBASE, they'll get package installation problems. I'm not sure what the best solution for them is.
