"Common decency" is disputable even in within USA; Europe is less
infested with USA style prissy "political correctness", & other
places less than Europe. Censorship of Global FreeBSD to USA norms
is Offensive.

Some will consider games/* & misc/jive etc juvenile, & other ports offensive
for licence or many other reasons. Tolerate them all, Live & let live.
The vast majority of commiters are innocent. Just a few ports butchers
have degraded FreeBSD, removing working ports in last few years.
Rather than delete or move sensitive ports to a new SUBDIR, causing
disruption, & SVN work, Add a flag to bsd.port.mk
like NO_CDROM eg SENSITIVE= (like a TV / Cinema adults only flag).
