That's a useful first step, but it doesn't absolve the person who 
actually deletes the port from responsibility since things can change 
(sometimes dramatically) in the period between marking a port and 
deleting it.

For simple changes a grep of the ports tree to find all (even optional) 
dependencies is fairly painless. For larger scale work like you did 
today, 'cd /usr/ports && make index' takes 10-15 minutes, and can save 
you time in the long run.

Meanwhile, thank you for taking this on, it is unglamorous work but very 
much needed. :)
