You could've at least give some courtesy to these not-build-broken ports by
allowing longer expiration period. :-(

Or they might not have noticed that Google Code had gone, or might have had
distfile cached locally, who knows?  The only sound reason for deprecation
if port does not build (install, package, has known security issues).  Just
because Google guys like to kill their projects doesn't mean our users have
to suffer.
