I wonder about the old gants port.
Do we use parts of this port somewhere (OS/freefall...)?

The port is now marked since nearly 7 years as forbidden/broken, was scheduled
to expire (2004-08-20) which was removed 5 years ago with the following comment.
 - Remove expiration date, this port is not going away yet
