I will personally guarantee, in writing, that current ports do not build
on 4.x, nor have they done so for years.  I personally removed the legacy
cruft when 4.11 finally went EOL.

I am 99% certain that ports will not work on either 8.x or 9.x.  Legacy
cruft was removed at the EOL in each of those cases.

Anyone who think that we can support ports on 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x,
9.x, 10.x, 11.x, and -current, all at the same time, needs to seek medical
attention at once.  At the absolute least, that era spans 3 major versions
of make(1) and two completely different package implementations.
