This is not a feature/bug of poudriere but of the ports system itself.
There's no tracking of obsoleted or removed options and no clever
methods to clean them up. It's only when you remove the options with
'make rmconfig' and rewrite them again trough the options dialog the
obsoleted ones will be gone.
