Despite from the somewhat unfriendly undertone in your answer - which I
overhear for the moment - I find that bringing up security issues in a
security list isn't adding to the noise factor.

To make it 100% FreeBSD related I refine my question:

Is there any danger and to what extent arising from previous or current
apache httpd installations from the FreeBSD ports tree, especially WRT
that phf security hole?

Shouldn't the port also install the phf 'candid camera' catcher
automatically?
