I found out about this during may normal daily "portmaster -ad" run,
which is one of the worst points for it to happen, as:

=2E..
=3D=3D=3D>>> The graphics/xfig-devel port has been deleted: Has expired: St=
able version is more recent than devel version
=3D=3D=3D>>> Aborting update

Terminated

As I had actually checked /usr/ports/UPDATING (so I would know in
advance of running portmaster of any evasive action I might need to
take), and saw that the most recent entry was still the one for
devel/git from 12 Nov, I was rather surprised (and not in a good way).

After running "portmaster -o graphics/xfig graphics/xfig-devel", I was
able to proceed, but I would have appreciated an UPDATING entry.

There were some other ports deleted in graphics:
