Yes, it is a ridiculous situation but since there appears to be zero
coordination between ports committers, probably expected.

Breaking existing install bases because of an *optional* feature is really a
shitty attitude, it is not OpenBSD, therefore does not need feature parity -
it is a *port* of OpenNNTPD, by your logic I should be able to use rdomains
in software ported from OpenBSD yes?  While we're here, PF is from OpenBSD
so I expect it to be the same as 6.0.
