Hello List,

there are too many linux_base ports at the ports tree now.
I'm going to deprecate and remove in three months some of
them (those that don't have infrastructure ports):
. linux_base-fc6;
. linux_base-f7;
. linux_base-f9.

That will leave:
. linux fc4 ports (defaults at 6.x, 7.x);
. linux f8 ports (non-defaults for 7.x);
. linux f10 ports (defaults for 9.x, 8.x and non-defaults for 7.x).

Actually I'd like to deprecate all linux f8 ports (say, for 12
months). Seems like f10 ports is a way to go for 7.x.

Opinions, suggestions and thoughts are welcome. Thanks.
