While I'm in favor of removing useless ports, there are several projects
which are simply "done", and lack of development doesn't mean they're
obsolete or useless. The logic above would seem to suggest we should
remove qmail too. I would like to hear what people feel the best method
for getting rid of unused and irrelevant ports, though -- bump
portrevision and mark BROKEN for a few months?
