It was because the expiration date was bumped to 2021-12-31 that I included
it in the removal sweep, if it was left to 2021-06-23 it would have been
more clear that it is one of the webengine-dependent ports that would be
non-sensical to remove.

I'm doing some final tests now to restore the eric6 ports (and dns/bind911
which got into extended security support).
