For the users using binary packages, poudriere, or the ports tree
directly nothing changed.

For users of third party abandonware, well, they were warned that it was
bound to happen at one point, and guess what, it happened. I don't
really understand why you continue spending all this time complaining
whereas switching to, say, poudriere, would have taken you about 5 minutes.
