Good day!

We have two pr's here:
http://bugs.freebsd.org/155524
http://bugs.freebsd.org/155526

And the last consumer of them in the tree was fixed today.
Since python 2.5 we have xml.etree.ElementTree and
xml.etree.cElementTree in the standard library. This package are drop-in
replacement for aforementioned ports, except of HTMLTreeBuilder class
that is missing. But we don't have ports that use it anyway.

All the modern software uses or bundled xml.etree or lxml
(devel/py-lxml) or html5lib (www/py-html5lib) instead. So i want to ask
is there any objections if I mark them deprecated and remove in one month?
