	Short answer: probably never.
	Longer answer:
	1) it is (I believe) no longer developed/maintained upstream.
	2) the port does not have a local maintainer.
	3) it has a long list of security issues, which persisted for
		months if not years.

	I, too, will miss it.  But in the larger scheme of things this
probably the path of wisdom.
	(Now ... if you are volunteering to revive it, assume
maintainership, and contribute patches - thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!)
