Yeah, that seems like an appropriate expenditure of effort. It's surely
not bulletproof, since someone could intentionally connect to the actual
port number, but getting to bulletproof is a lot more work than anyone
seems to want to do right now. (And, as Bruce pointed out, no complete
solution would be back-patchable anyway.)
