I would have thought it to be obvious, but ports with valid and applicable PRs are excluded. No unstaged port with a pending PR to stage it is going to be removed, the PR will get processed instead. > I usually stop updating my ports when that happens and resume my > activity when my confidence that stuff has a chance of being committed > is restored. I.e. when all my old updates have been committed. I commit PR patches that are 6 to 18 months old fairly frequently. There is obviously a huge backlog but many PRs are processed daily. The PRs that aren't getting processed quickly are "[NEW PORT]" PRs (and apparently anything mentioning fuse-fs for some reason). A staging PR is going to jump the line; it has a higher priority. Why would you even entertain the idea that a staging PR will fall between the cracks?
