I'll second this one.

1. Is there any plans on updating openssl and why not? It's getting a 
bad hype nowadays. And will we ever support TLS v1.[12]? BEAST attack 
seems to be not so far from most of us:

2. What's with CVE-2011-1945? I'm waiting for months for just a tiny 
comment on this one as if this truly is not fixed in our source all 9.0 
installations with world-open ssh are potentially vulnerable.

3. DragonFly is much faster then we are, they have 1.0.1b on master 
branch, while we have 1.0.1a in ports. They also already removed heimdal 
from base and pkgsrc has 1.5.2 available with our 1.4 present in ports.
