Once again I am seeing this dreadful list and once again I am wondering... Why
are we removing ports simply for being "unmaintained"?
Those with build-errors -- Ok, I understand, bit-rot happens. Those with (much)
newer versions available -- sure.
But simply "unmaintained" -- that does not seem right...
graphics/qvplay is just an example -- linimon's list contains many more ports,
whose only "fault" is not having an active maintainer...
