I want to understand all the reasoning behind this stuff.  Please explain
the reason that library Y changing means that dependent port X should be
deprecated and removed, regardless of whether it no longer builds and/or
works.  Note that I'm working on the assumption that your assertion it
should be deprecated and removed does not rely on it no longer building
and/or working because of the way you mentioned no longering building
and/or working as a parenthetical addendum rather than a condition of
deprecation and removal.
