I'm unpersuaded by the arguments later in the thread that we should keep this port for its pedagogical value as a BITS_PER_UNIT != 8 port. I think the criteria should be the same as any other port.
However, I do think that it's late to be making this decision, and I can't see any harm in delaying obsoletion until 4.0.1. That will give potential maintainers a fair chance to step forward.
But if it won't even build, then users should be warned.
I suppose -- but we have relatively many configurations that probably won't build, at least if you start combining various options, and including langauges beyond just C and C++.
I'd be content with a patch that issued a warning, but declaring a port obsolete has often been contentions, and I'd hate to rush into it.
