I completely agree. So long as a port is being used and people find it useful,
I think it would be a mistake to remove those ports. In fact I suspect it
wouldn't be long before someone was submitting a PR to reinstate the port.
Perfect example is converters/unix2dos, last updated in 2003 and
converters/mpack, last updated in 2006.
I still use both, and I would be irritated if they were removed from ports.
A lack of development activity != a lack of usefulness
