[Bug 251117] [NEW PORT] www/palemoon: Open-source web browser

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251117

--- Comment #91 from Olivier Certner <olivier.freebsd@free.fr> ---
Upstream has plans to remove BSD-related-support. They've already dropped
support for MacOS a few months ago, and are planning to proceed with the rest
(the extent of which I don't know precisely).

So they would like to be sure that the initial issues that prevented the port
to go in are not going to pop again later before considering revising these
plans.

Is this officially backed-up by portmgr@?

> portmgr@ does not see a reason to block it [1].

What did lead to this decision after so much time? Only the arguments presented
here? Changes of plan from portmgr@ (regarding BUNDLE_LIBS, or something else)?
Is this decision perennial?

Sorry for being so procedural, but I need to now in order to avoid future
problems and drama as much as possible, and because importing this probably
makes no sense if upstream indeed drops BSD support.
