+  AUTHOR: rene@FreeBSD.org
+
+  All ports based on QT3 (including KDE3 but also ports which used QT3 as
+  a graphical toolkit) expired on 20130701 because QT3 and KDE3 were no
+  longer maintained upstream.  These ports have been removed today.
+
+  Users of KDE3 are advized to switch to another desktop environment
+  provided in the Ports Collection, e.g. KDE4 or Xfce.
+
+  Users of QT3 are advized to upgrade to the QT4 counterpart(s).
