In the past pkg-audit and even pkg-version have not been reliable tools
where installed ports or packages have been subsequently discontinued or
renamed.  Today, however, I notice that dovecot2 is still showing up in
the output of pkg-version despite the port having been renamed to
dovecot (without the numeric suffix) several days ago.

Does this mean there has been a policy change?  If so does it cover
pkg-audit as well?

Roger
