It is not BROKEN but as Doug pointed out, I felt that this port has
passed the point of its usefulnes. With currently 4835 unmaintained
ports in our tree I took a bit more aggressive aproach and marked it
for deletion. If until then no one steps in, it will leave a reference
in MOVED and can always be brought back. However, extending the
expiration date to 3 months seems like a good idea, that way automated
reminder mails (are there still mechanisms?) can reach a larger
audience of possible interested people.
