With AOL Instant Messenger products and services going dark today(*)
(December 15th 2017), a few ports will stop working and probably need to be
deprecated:

net-im/bsflite
net-im/p5-Net-AIM
net-im/pork
security/aimsniff

Additionally, these ports

irc/bitlbee
net-im/centerim
net-im/centerim-devel
net-im/libpurple

have "AIM" either as a configure option or as a part of option description.
These ports probably need to be reviewed/updated to have "AIM" removed to
avoid user confusion.
