I personally think it's better to remove it and update in ports.  Cy
Schubert makes a good point (if it is valid; I didn't check and don't
know myself) that 44bsd-rdist and rdist6 are interoperable on mutally
exclusive systems.  Hence, it makes sense that a system administrator
should need to look in ports for what they need.
