Can someone confirm or deny this fact? While I'm in favor of removing useless ports, there are several projects which are simply "done", and lack of development doesn't mean they're obsolete or useless. The logic above would seem to suggest we should remove qmail too. I would like to hear what people feel the best method for getting rid of unused and irrelevant ports, though -- bump portrevision and mark BROKEN for a few months?
