In all fairness to Proftpd, the proftpd nowadays isn't really the same animal
as the proftpd of old.
I remember, and I think I even contributed to, the discussion of yanking
Proftpd from the ports tree back in the old days when MacGuyver (what a name!)
was maintaining Proftpd.
I know the current maintainer, TJ Saunders, and mentioned the whole thing to
him over beers one night and he was and is fully commited to the security of
Proftpd. He was pretty bummed to hear that Proftpd has such a bad rap with the
OpenBSD community. Especially since he takes the security of Proftpd very
seriously.
I'm not saying that we should definitely include it, only that just because it
was bad at some point in the past, doesn't mean it has remained that way for 6
years. AFAIK, it has been rewritten.
Just my $.02,
