 IMO, users who don't know why and how metasploit ships dangerous software
 just shouldn't install it in the first place. We could add a warning to
 the description or to `port notes metasploit{,3}`, though.

 Moving the examples and payloads won't help in this case anyway, because
 the virus scanner deems the distfile tarball to be dangerous. There's
 nothing MacPorts can do about that.
