It is not documented.  It happens very very rarely, the only reason I
removed it was because of circumstances, and all these reasons:
 - It had expired (and was no longer in head)
 - It was no longer supported upstream
 - There was a large security issue with it.

The impending security issue was embargoed when I removed the port,
which is why it was not mentionned in the commit message.  And I removed
the port early because it was a security issue and it felt better to get
rid of it early rather than wait.
