No.

The commit message MUST state first and foremost the reason (aka the
why) behind the commit.

The what can be seen by looking at the diff, the what SHOULD be
explained (and I say explained, not just translate the diff to english)
in the commit message if the reason behind a bit of change is not
clearly explained by the why.

Extra information if available in a PR for example MAY (note, I said
MAY, not SHOULD or MUST) be left out and an interested party can go look
the PR or whatever other reference was made available in the commit
message.

In this example, the commit message could have started a bit like this:

	www/xshttpd*: Remove abondonware & unfetchable


And then there may have been another paragraph expanding on the reason
behind the removal, for example something like this:

	No new upstream release for the past 10 years, distfile not fetchable,
	and website returns 404.
