As per bug #254466, comment #20, I'm opening this PR here regarding
https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/beadm
https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/beadm-devel

Also, trying to understand ports management: 
Who decides when and if a port gets deprecated and removed?

What's the use case for not deprecating*
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/sysutils/beadm-devel
and, after an appropriate elapsed time removing it from the ports tree?

No more confusion, less maintenance; perhaps I'm missing something here?

* The creator and maintainer (Slawomir Wojciech Wojtczak - vermaden) has
responded in bug #254466, comment #6; and in bug #254466, comment #14:
“I think that *sysutils/beadm-devel* can be deleted as it was not updated since
3 years ...
”
last log entries
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/log/sysutils/beadm-devel
indicate merely managerial changes.

There is a current active and maintained version beadm(8) - by the same
creator/maintainer:
