FWIW, it has been working fine for me, and it would have been quite a
surprise to find out it was deprecated.

(except, of course, that I do follow this mailing list.  I'm just
saying that someone who isn't following this mailing list might be very
surprised if portupgrade were suddenly dropped).

Part of me would like to try my hand at fixing whatever the problems
are, but I am swamped at work and am very likely to continue to be
swapped because the college where I work is very keen on not hiring
any more people right now.  Maybe I can find some time, but if someone
else has the time then certainly they should take the lead.
