If the db48 format is so central to the *coin world, is it sensible
to cut the db48 port from the ports tree in a few weeks ? What would be
the problem if we keep it around && somewhat alife ? I remember
there was a discussion about it, but I don't remember the details.

Would deleting the port cause the *coin ports to internalize db48 ?
Or would the *coin ports just vanish from the tree ?
