I agree, but I think the idea is sound.
For instance, with .forward.
The fact that it can execute a program to list my whereabouts is a
feature that I may use (and in fact, have used). The fact that
the feature is not necessarily known to system admins, and would
violate *some* policies is not reason to be listed in the CVE. If we
start doing that, then we need to document every misunderstanding and
unclear concept out there -- and Unix or NT alone would generate a
few thousand!
