Hi,

xulrunner/24 is ancient, dead upstream, and only two ports uses them:
- www/conkeror which, even if sorta alive upstream, hasnt seen an update
  in 4 years
- www/icedtea-web which will be useless when firefox 57 is out, as the
  java plugin only works in esr right now, and esr57 will remove the
remaining NPAPI plugin support. Ok, there's javaws which allows to use
it outside a browser, but meh. Who needs this crap nowadays ? even
idrac7 have a perfectly working html5 console... or one could switch it
to build against firefox esr headers, no idea if that would work, and
would require the sdk to be a subpackage of firefox-esr port.

and most of all, xulrunner doesnt build with clang. i'm trying a bunch
of hacks in that ancient codebase, even if i'm making progress, it's not
to the point of building.

So, opinions ?
