That's VERY BAD method of fixing things. Package names should be changed,  
not vuln.xml! As cause of illness should always be cured, not the  
symptoms. And, after all, even that fix was partial: it fixed only jdk on  
fbsd 6 - my fbsd 5 IS STILL "vulnerable". And this is only jdk, but we  
have the same problem with jre. And not only for i386, but for amd64 also  
- 6 packages total, not 1.
