I would suggest that deprecation (without a specific expiry date) is a good way to issue that recommendation. I don't know of any recent cases but there have been past cases where people have unknowingly installed obsolete ports and then run into problems. It would be useful if there was a mechanism to warn users that the port they are about to install (or have installed) is no longer recommended. --=20 Peter Jeremy --0OAP2g/MAC+5xKAE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk4aLNYACgkQ/opHv/APuIeYygCcDMeF1d20qveYtGYXmAExJB3t 50oAnj52wDXMNVBsKiP2XpYe8GYtT+P7 =RALX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0OAP2g/MAC+5xKAE--
