 * Is it ok to drop a.out building for ports?

If you are talking about new ports, it is no longer necessary to
support a.out builds.  For old ones, please keep a.out compatibility
for some more time unless it is really hard to do.

 * If not, till when do we need to make ports build for both formats?

It has been less than a year since the last release from the 2.2
branch.  Maybe something like a year after 2.2.8R will be a good time
to stop a.out builds of existing ports too.
