is there really a need for this? just because these ports/applications aren't
maintained any more this doesn't necessarily require a warning to be issued
during port build/installation.
the latest security bulletin for acroread8 recommends using version 8.1.7
which is the version in ports!
the latest security bulletin for acroread9 recommends using version 9.2 which
is the version in ports!
the latest security bulletin for flash9 recommends using version 9.0.246.0
which is the version in ports!
i couldn't quite catch which version of flash10 is in the ports, but the
latest security bulletin recommends using version 10.0.32.18!
maybe you could report exactly which ports are suffering from security flaws.
these ports should then be marked IGNORE.
unless there aren't any security issues present in connection with these ports
i vote for closing the PR.
