Especially the ports area, as those I just tar up and make a clean find . -type f | grep Attic | xargs rm sweep over the whole bloody mess. There are no tags in there to deal with and that goes really fast. > grace period. The average is many years. I'm still waiting for removal Impossible to be ``many years'', we've only been doing FreeBSD for a little over 2 years (and I mean _days_ over 2 years, we forgot to celibrate our aniversary, we can wait for the 2nd aniversery of the 1.0 CDROM which is in December. Don't exagerate so much please :-))! > of Attics created by the July 13 ports reorganization.
