When can we have a secure libxml2?

Hi there,
I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask but we're using libxml2 and the
version in ports (2.6.x) currently suffers from a rather serious
security vulnerability:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/portaudit/d71da236-9a94-11dd-8f42-001c2514716c.html
Yet there's no libxml2-2.7.x in ports as required by the above notice.
So there's no solution other than compiling an up-to-date one by hand
and that opens up a whole different can of worms regarding dependencies.
When will this be addressed?
Regards,
Gunther
