We didn't "bork the system".  The old pkg_* tools were removed over a
month ago after a six-month deprecation period, at which point portaudit
also stopped working, although it wasn't removed from ports until two
weeks ago.  The new package system has equivalent functionality built-in
with the "audit" command:

des at nine ~% sudo pkg audit -F

You mean redirects.  They already resolved to the same IP address(es),
which, as far as I know, is a reverse proxy that handles most of the
project's web sites.
