I am getting heartily tired of your continuous tirade against the
portmgr@ community.  Please provide evidence to backup your
accusations or retract them.

As for the removal of obsolete ports - it has been made perfectly
clear on many occasions that a MAINTAINER of ports@ means that port
is _not_ maintained.  If it's a port you use, feel free to take over
maintainership.  Otherwise that port is subject to removal if any
problems with it crop up.
