That's a bold new policy.

In the past, if the upstream was gone and the maintainer judged the
software still useful (at their discretion, not based on a cut-off
date), they would even fall back to providing the distfile at
people.freebsd.org.

So, will this be enforced?  Will somebody go through all distfiles,
check the time stamps in the tarballs, and mark ports as BROKEN if
the distfile hasn't been updated since... when exactly?  I guess I
could to that.
