I can see why xgopher was deleted but I don't understand why the buffer port was deleted -- I personally find it a useful application and have been using it on FreeBSD and non-FreeBSD systems for 2-3 years. What is the criteria for a port to be removed from the collection? (If the answer is that the original buffer port maintainer doesn't want to do it, I'd be willing to recreate the buffer port and maintain it).
