The Makevars we invented to give users advance warning is documented in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/dads-deprecated.html . Periodically I post a list of these and when they are intended to expire. I'm of two minds of what to do here -- we still do have a small percentage of our userbase on these releases, despite the fact that they are not supported. OTOH if you want to argue that these ports are only useful for adding new functionality, and only for those releases, then I would think that we wouldn't need to support that at all and they could just be immediately deleted. mcl
