Doesn't matter much since CPE data is a moving target anyway. To handle
that I created chkcpe [1] which automatically analyzes the portstree once a
day and verifies the CPE data it finds.

In this particular case it will detect a invalid CPE vendor/product and
will list the port under "invalid". There are similar cases like port
rename, " repocopy" etc. which can also easily lead to invalid CPE data.
