Full removal may not happen before 13.0 but hopefully disabling it by default, so that it is not installed unless one explicitly enables it, will happen before 13.0. > I maintain ports that use the portsnap utility.

Not necessarily, as 11.x and 12.x will have it of course, but it should definitely handle portsnap not being present on the system in any case, since it can be disabled via WITHOUT_PORTSNAP (even on 11.x and 12.x).
