Then, there is a +kde variant, which is announced as “untested”. I would in this case tend to just make the variant obsolete, and not the port itself, as I don’t intend to meddle with things at qt3 level here. > I would still urge caution when > removing/obsoleting the rest though, just in case.

This was partly my purpose when writing the initial mail. I will probably work rather incrementally, starting with the ports which have clear alternatives/replacements. This should also leave time for corrections if needed.
