I just cannot get the commit message. librsvg -- not used by whom?  Personally,
I used it in one of my older projects (~ 10 years old) which I don't plan
to rework to use rsvg2/gtk2 because it doesn't make sense for it.  So how
do I use my project now on FreeBSD?

It's also a lie that it's not maintained, it's maintained by ports@ mailing
list and the community.  So please, restore it.

The same also probably goes for other ports, but I don't have enough details
to comment.

Thanks!

They have been deprecated for a while and noone said anything about those, that
is the purpose of the DEPRECATED status. The "not used anymore" mean not used in
Why should we go through it again and again? If it's not broken, it's
useable, you may not remove it, period.

the portstree (ie no more depended on).
Most of the portstree is leaf ports, now what?

If someone really needs it, he can:
What we need is to not have to do extra work and to not have extra noise
on the maillist because someone does unneeded things. I really don't
want to call that vandalism.

You can't only put in u have also to put out.
