I'd agree in general, but do not think so in this special case.

The port had not been added to be built (despite having been built tested on
amd64 an di386 on several FreeBSD releases), but only to allow "make index"
to succeed on a system that defines LLVM_DEFAULT=14.

There is no way a working firefox with WASI support could have been built
with LLVM-14 at this time, since there are unresolved issues that still
need to be fixed.

And the firefox port has been changed to require LLVM-13 and the matching
dependencies (like wasi-compiler-rt13).

Even if this port has been installed on a system, I do not see how it could
cause issue. If wasi-compiler-rt14 is committed again at a later time, it
will have a higher minor version and any remains of the reverted port will
just be replaced by an update to the new version.


If you insist that a MOVED entry must still be created. this can of course
be done. But I'll not feel responsible to remove it when WASI can be built
with LLVM-14.
