The tree is not intended as a pile for broken ports. Feel tree to import
it in your overlay and keep it there, it's been listed as broken for 5+
months and no one has even raised a PR about it missing or trying to fix it.

Everything is still in git. If somebody wants Budgie back, it is possible to get it from
git history, make it compiling/working again and create a PR. "Remove" sounds a
