| As a ramification, can you set DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE=2015-07-31
| for all the bitcoin-related ports that refuse to transition off of db48?

Bitcoin is engaged into converting from db48, yes, it'll take them years
(as in, many, I was about to write "a decade") to be confortable enough to
remove db48 support, so, can we drop this discussion now, or are we going
to revisit it every couple of months for the upcoming years ?
