I do agree with bryan here, because in 3 years, you will spend 10 hours finding
what the old unused MACRO was used for, trust me I have spent so much time
finding old cruft in the ports tree that I prefer to see the cruft go as soon as
possible than staying forever.

That said, I do prefer a couple of sweep commits let's say remove all
MAKE_JOBS_SAFE from the ports I do maintain in a single commit than doing it 1
by 1.
