Why not? Thinking FreeBSD could become immune to remote exploits is absurd.

So without much efforts  I can guess ports like Skype will become more 
widespread now that FreeBSD has gived up on network security, preferring 
to announce critical security vulnerabilities once the exploit has been 
confirmed without any warnings.

A good reason to stop using this bloated OS if you ask me and use
something more respectful to their users base relaying on STABLE for 
stability reasons...

Cheers,

E
