I don't know, what "sustainable repository" means in this context. It seems like another vague term, which can be interpreted in any way convenient. The rest of your reply does not address my arguments -- except to concede, that there are, indeed, no actual requirements, that the ports you seek to delete are violating. And yet, you want to delete them anyway... So, please, direct your considerable energies to maintenance of your own ports. If that's not challenging enough -- consider adopting some of the unmaintained ones. But don't delete other people's work -- and cease marking it "deprecated" on such iffy grounds as you've done before... Thank you, -mi --------------cFdSXpVvNpxC7gMQAfQw5lll--
