 Right, but there is no need to rush things, either, at least not as long
 as the port above has a dependency on it.

 I'd rather vote for keeping it open until www/py-Products.TinyMCE has
 been updated properly and lang/python24 was removed, so we do not forget
 about deprecating and removing devel/py-elementtree later on.
