Yes, this is why I have deprecated lang/gcc7, but do not plan to 
expire it before those two have been addressed. ;-)

This is similar to what we have done with lang/gcc6 which lost 
its sole consumer a few weeks ago and is marked for expiration 
only now after having been deprecated for quite a while.

Makes sense?
Gerald

PS: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html#dads-deprecated
saying "It is possible to set DEPRECATED without an EXPIRATION_DATE (for 
instance, recommending a newer version of the port)" has inspired me here.
