I'm not arguing this at all, I'm simply saying that these issues
should be brought up with the 200 or so maintainers of those
suid-programs in ports.  The security officer hasn't a prayer of
addressing all of these and the core parts of FreeBSD as well and this
is one of those areas where delegation and "distributed processing" is
a necessity.  Issues with ports need to be raised with the appropriate
ports people.
