* I think it would be a good idea to make an effort to keep ports compiling * with reasonably new versions for as long as possible. For most ports (eg. * Apache and rlim_t) it would take only trivial changes to keep them * working... yes, it is extra effort and isn't reasonably possible in all * cases but I think it is worthwhile. It's definitely a good idea. The manpower, however, should probably come from outside the regular ports committers, who are severely overburdened these days. (Just look at the list of open ports PRs that keep growing!) You are very welcome to submit patches to make ports compile on many branches. :) (Most of the hints are already in the handbook....)
