Thanks Wen, I submitted PR 153676 to delete the old gnat doc ports. Regarding the seven new ports, should I write one PR to cover all seven, or seven individual PRs? Some are dependencies of others, so it kind of makes sense to submit them together. John wen heping wrote: > Better to send PRs to add or remove these ports.
