I missed the package removal.  That would seem to simplify things a bit.

Since there's space, include both in 6.x, with ports.tgz marked as
deprecated.  If you consider 6.0 to be an "early adopter's" release,
you can probably get away with claiming that ports.tgz has been
deprecated for the 6.x tree and can therefore be dropped in 7.x
(in line with Project guidelines for feature deprecation).
