They can come back if they're not vulnerable and someone volunteers to maintain them. (deleted ports may have had ports@ as the maintainer, but we don't allow that for port (re)additions.) We have ports that get marked vulnerable and then get updated and fixed all the time. It's just when someone doesn't update them that they go away :-) mcl
