Interesting idea; this brings yet another possibility. The only problem
I could see with that strategy is yet-another-license-change forbidding
derivative works.
If PortMgr thinks this is the way it should be handled, we could do the
rename in the Debian fashion, but personally I won't be maintaining it
in the future. I've stopped using it actively and only maintained it to
help.
The other proposal was to keep the last good version but this was a
release candidate and I seem to remember a nasty problem with the window
naming.
To sum it up, I'll commit a port with a message explaining what
happened, just like Ryan suggested. If someone is interested in reviving
the port as 'particleman', feel free to do so.

Seems like Debian did this and renamed ion3 to ParticleMan. At least I
found this blog entry [1] about it and the packages are already in some
trees. As an alternative of removing it, maybe we can just grab the
sources from them and keep it with another name?
