imvho the drawbacks of this solution outweight its usefulness.
If a commit does not solve the problem but makes the port to look not
vulnerable, and I'm a very sloppy or very overworked sysadmin, I might not
notice.
Would you prefer me sweating around the upgrade of something I know is
patched, but portaudit prevents me from portupgrading, or my cracked
zombie machine pounding at your network while I'm slacking off? :)
Just my 2 cents
