Hi,
First off, Mark, if you think this stuff is too late for 4.0, I'll postpone this to 4.1. Please note that all we have to do is add a few lines to config.gcc as far as printing the "obsolete" message is concerned.
I think that if you get no objections to your message within a week, it's fine to obsolete these for 4.0. You might consider leaving the ports in 4.1 until after 4.0 has been out for a month or so. That will give users a chance to speak up, if they really do want these old ports.
