nrpe is listed as being out of date. However, for some reason, there  
are two versions of nrpe in ports: nrpe at v1.9, nrpe2 at v2.7 (2.7.1  
is the latest stable version, so the nrpe2 port is out of date)
Would it make sense to remove the port for nrpe which is currently  
unmaintained and rename nrpe2, which is maintained to just nrpe?

Also, while p5-Getopt-Mixed is currently out of date, the author has  
listed the module as obsolete on the CPAN page (Its been replaced by  
Getopt::Long). I submitted a PR with a patch to update it 1.09  
earlier today, but perhaps it should be considered for removal from  
the tree since it has no port maintainer, and the module is no longer  
maintained as well. I spoke privately with Anton Berezin (who is  
assigned to the PR) privately and we both agree that it would make  
sense to update it to 1.09, but at the same time, deprecate and mark  
it for deletion in the ports collection.

Figured I would post this to the list to see if anyone has any strong  
feelings against it.
