There are plenty of packages within portage which have no longer been maintained for just as long as xmms (see cgoban for an example). It seems that this is a rather silly choice of packages to single out. It seems to me that xmms can live a perfectly natural life within portage so long as it is no longer included by default with the Xorg package. Granted, I have absolutely zero sway with anyone who matters within the gentoo community, but personally I would prefer to see it remain.
