Quoting Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@gmx.de> (from Wed, 14 Jun 2006 12:33:29 +0200): > Hmmm... still no consensus. So I'll just leave my ports alone until > consensus is reached.

There's no work in progress to change this. If nobody sends patches to the upstream maintainers, there will never be a libtool version which completely works without .la files. So the right thing to do ATM is to *not* remove .la files in ports. There may be software which dosn't work without them.
