My current plan is going to remove these ports in the next few days unless
I hear otherwise, and ok's welcome:
- audio/mkplaylist
- mail/archivemail
- textproc/yould
- devel/git-cvs (based on comment from Stuart below)
For editors/cooledit I will remove the python FLAVOR.

Yep. Would love to see it come back to life, but I guess if not we can
retire py2 and keep it marked as broken in the tree.

And is already marked broken, so we could keep as is like pypy

cparser goes together with devel/libfirm which uses python2.

so frestonfire is a bit weird. I remember it working on some of my
boxes but not others.
Like it worked on amd boxes but not intel or certain video cards worked
and others didn't. I suspect something in the drm stack that fretsonfire
isn't using properly. I should spend some time to figure it out as it's a
fun game.

Great! I'll add to the list of removals.

The xmms2 flavor depends on audio/xmms2 which uses python2. I guess we
could remove the xmms2 flavor from conky instead of updating.

Good to know, will take a closer look at these soon.
