On the one hand, you are right, we should all do it according to the books.

On the other hand, if it makes it too tiresome with only very little
gain, why doing it ? Even if the port was in the tree in the past
and it is not resurrected, the repo still has the full history if
one ever wants to know more about it. It might be a tad bit more
inconvenient for someone to reconstruct it, but given that
the port was missing for one year shows it's not high-prio for anyone.

If it's really an important port, then I do agree that it should be
done the proper and not the lazy way.
