>Description:

Port lang/squeak2 is outdated, obsolete and no longer needed. The
current and maintained version of Squeak is available as
lang/squeak3. No (known) legacy packages exist that require squeak2.

As the maintainer I am in favour of removing lang/squeak2 from the
ports collection. This results in a more clean ports environment,
avoids to attract people to erroneously use squeak2 instead of squeak3
and prohibits any possible pitfalls in case both ports are used at the
same time.

>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
>Fix:
Remove lang/squeak2 from the ports collection.
