I even posed it to our test users. A lot of Linux users complained, but non of the FreeBSD users did. I think some Linux distributions are shipping gdm-2.20, but we never did any testing of 2.20 with 2.23/2.24. If you want to resurrect it, and test it out, we will consider re-adding the port as gdm220.
