OK. I'm not sure this is in any way fair and not just avoidance, but why,
specifically, should THIS port with no known vulnerabilities, people who
are willing to work to fix it,  and a fair number of users, be a so special
that it deserves summary execution from FreeBSD? Yes, it's unmaintained.
The upstream authors/maintainers advised a move to another port. But why
should THIS port be removed from hte system?
