Personally, I used it in one of my older projects (~ 10 years old) which I don't plan to rework to use rsvg2/gtk2 because it doesn't make sense for it. So how do I use my project now on FreeBSD? It's also a lie that it's not maintained, it's maintained by ports@ mailing list and the community. So please, restore it. The same also probably goes for other ports, but I don't have enough details to comment.
