I guess bapt@ didn't get that message.  He removed over 500 of them on
the first day.  What was remaining were those potentially blocked by PRs
or that would cause cascading removals.  The remaining unstaged ports
needed to be carefully looked at for removal, and that's what I've been
doing.  This is just follow-up to bapt's original effort.  There's not
much special about the ones that initially survived the massacre.  [1]

[1] I don't know why virtualbox-ose-legacy was spared actually.  It had
no PR and wasn't blocking anything else.
