I didn't knew that, I thought if a platform is missing from
"platforms" then the port can't be installed. Thanks for the
information.
Then it's of course a good idea to remove it.
It is not used, but I imagine the idea is that it will some day be
used. Therefore, it is a good idea to make sure the platforms keyword
is set correctly in your ports.
