While it's all fun to have lots of things in the ports collection, you can 
also ask yourself if a software product that last saw an update to 0.21 -- 
last commits seem to be in 2009 on sourceforge -- which relies on a toolkit 
that reached end-of-life in 2015, with plenty of alternatives, and with no 
port maintainer, really should live on.

By all means, Mat, deprecate and move on. If someone actively cares, it can be 
picked up again.

Just about anything without a maintainer, and USE_QT4, should be ready for 
deprecation. (Which reminds me that audio/rosegarden, for instance, needs an 
update, should be handed to kde@, and switched to defaulting to Qt5)
