Not sure if this makes me a more interesting person or not ;) Anyway, if this is a major concern this might make an interesting periodic script - similar to portaudit. So it could check nightly which of the installed packages are scheduled to be removed from the ports tree in the near future. I certainly won't spend any time on this, but maybe someone out there considers this useful enough to write it?! -- Michael Gmelin
