Dear co-developers,

as the maintainer of most of our lang/gcc ports I wonder whether/when
we can remove some of those old gcc ports such as lang/gcc-ooo?

At my day job, we are regularily building OpenOffice.org, and have
been doing so for some years, with our default GCC 3.3, GCC 4.0 and
now GCC 4.1 system compilers.


On a related note, why do we need six(!) ports of OpenOffice in the
collection?

openoffice.org-1.0 and even openoffice.org-1.1 are history; I doubt
that user interest for these is high (or even existant).


I believe that by getting rid of the lang/gcc-ooo port and 
openoffice.org-1.0 and openoffice.org-1.1 we will in the end make
life for our users *and* the FreeBSD build cluster easier.

Thanks,
Gerald (@FreeBSD.org)
