--- Comment #3 from Warren Block <wblock@FreeBSD.org> ---
At present, portmaster still has no direct competition.  It is a
no-dependencies shell script.  portupgrade is the closest thing, but Ruby a=
nd
ruby-bdb dependencies cause trouble on upgrades.

Package builders like poudriere and synth do not compete in the same space,
with higher overhead in dependencies, configuration, disk space, build time,
and user interface.

As far as maintenance, nobody wants to maintain dense shell script.  (The
reasons for portmaster being in sh are debatable in their own right, but not
relevant to this discussion.)

Until there is a close replacement, or portmaster is no longer functional,
removing it from the documentation is premature.  That is not a statement on
the desirability of the situation, just an instance of BSD pragmatism.
