Hi again,

For the record, I am not against this change. In fact, I think it is going
to make it easier to backport the latest security update to net/samba410
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246721

I was just surprised to see expired ports removed from quarterly, rather
than just being done in head and aging out when the next quarterly branch
occurs on 1 July.

I guess what I am asking is - what is the procedure for expired ports in
quarterly, and is this documented somewhere?

Regards,
Ben
