RFC: OpenBSD's netcat in base or ports?

Dear folks,

A recent glance at OpenBSD indicates that they have an excellent
re-written of nc(1), also known as "netcat" that is very handy for
system administrators.  The OpenBSD version of nc is licensed under the
BSD License.

While there may be some concerns about the potential security affects of
it, I think it might be good if we have it in our base system, or in
ports.

Cheers,
