You are too humble, Mark. Whoever actually did it, would not have gone

That begs the question, does not it? Is FreeBSD "trying to be more
inclusive"? Is this -- being more inclusive (whatever that means) --
even a valid goal for a technical project? We aren't curing the world's
ills nor aiming for a "greater justice" here -- we are simply building
the best Operating System.
A long as a port keeps building/packaging, it should remain available.
Please, put it back if only to honor this sentiment:
