Removing it would decrease the list of umaintained ports by one ;-) I'm OK with that. The reason that I didn't suggest it straight away is that the PLT-scheme language took on a few fairly radical changes when they bumped the version from 3xy to 4.x.y, to that code that worked with the earlier version would not necessarily work with the latter. People using the old drscheme port might have wanted to keep using it. I think that enough time has probably passed, now, that anyone who cared has already made the switch and changed what they needed to change, so the old one could go away now. Just my few cents (blame the fluctuating AUS$ for imprecision...). Cheers, Andrew
