I considered marking it FORBIDDEN but decided not to because the security bug is minor. I also wanted to tell users that this port is outdated, to encourage them to try something newer if they can. There is a bash RPM available which fixes the bug, but the port would need to be refactored to use the new RPM. I would set it up with MASTER_SITES:n like I did with some of its sister ports, but I feel like doing other things first. Your suggestion would be okay by me, but it would also be okay to just fix the DEPRECATED line. -- Trevor Johnson
I committed the patch--this PR can be closed. -- Trevor Johnson
