Am I being paranoid? Let's wait and see.

I was just wondering the same. In which case, we must remove security/sudo from the tree because it contains racial slurs.

Yea, it's optional (INSULTS), but hey, so is installing any ports.


(btw, if it isn't clear, I am _NOT_ complaining about sudo. don't you dare remove insults, that's its best feature! The "racial" ones can be patched out with INSULTS_CONFIGURE_ON+= --with-pc-insults, if anyone really WAS thinking about bringing a banhammer to that option...)
