Would the powers that be please consider removing sendmail,
bind and openssl from the base system, as was done for perl
with 5.0?

Now that there is portupgrade it is so much easier to update
ports and packages that the make buildworld etc cycle for
base system updates seems even more painful.

Having just done two rebuilds for recent OpenSSL and sendmail
vulnerabilities, I was surprised to discover that building the port
of apache13-modssl required the build of a port version of 
OpenSSL when I had the most updated (4.7) base system with
OpenSSL in it!. I hate having two versions installed; it makes me
fear that there will be problems caused by the wrong version being
used.
