I respectully disagree.

CVS-2017-7483 is no real thread in *many* environments, and rxvt has other
bugs that make it core dump.

However, it is *seriosly* more lightweight than the alternatives:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  112K Mar 13 20:00 rxvt-2.7.10nb11.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1.4M Mar 13 20:19 rxvt-unicode-9.26nb6.tgz

so I'm fine with adding heavy warnings to the pkg, but please do not remove
it.
