Exactly. Another case in point: x11/xtset. Maintenance stopped in
1993, 11 days after the FreeBSD project came into existence. It works
fine, and I find it very useful. If at some time in the future it
should no longer work with the latest and greatest iteration of the C
programming language or ports structure, that shouldn't be a reason to
discard it.
What does "xtset" do that the following script does not? I picked it up
from $JOB a couple of decades ago.
/usr/local/bin/wintit:
# Change window title.

# 0 means both title and icon.
# 1 means icon
# 2 means title

echo -n ']0;'$*''
Watch out for the embedded ESC and ^G chars, and modify as necessary for
SysVile i.e. "-n" vs. "\c". And no, printf(1) didn't exist back then,
and I'm too lazy to fix it now.

Utility to set title on an xterm.
