No problem, I was just doing a little cleanup.
MOVED entries should only be made when the old port has actually been
deleted. Existing tools (e.g. portupgrade) consult MOVED only when they
can't find the original port, and I may mark e.g. OpenLDAP 2.1 client as
deprecated (which means that new installations should use the 2.2
version) while keeping it around for a couple of months in order to
support existing installations. Only when it is finally removed the
migration via MOVED is mandatory.
