Log:
  Deprecate Tcl/Tk 8.5 and dependent ports
  
  Tcl/Tk 8.5 is approaching EOL. It might or might get another patch release with
  8.7 is released, but people should have started migrating to 8.6 long ago. See
  also the second paragraph in the last 8.5 release announcement from three years
  ago here: https://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/15413/
  
  For now, I don't have an EXPIRATION_DATE.
