So what would you call deprecating 73 ports without trying to fix them
or even just understand why they are the way they are if not
“complaining without offering a solution”?

I will not let go of this.  I understand that you found my response
unhelpful, but I also need _you_ to understand how insulting Adam's
commit and (especially) email were, and to acknowledge that he acted
without prior consultation and summarily dismissed the solution which
fuz@ and I suggested because he does not understand the problem space
but is convinced that he knows better than 60+ port maintainers.
