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.
