>Description:
- Mark the port deprecated, as BitMover are discontinuing support for
  BitKeeper/Free effective 2005-07-01, see their web site
  <http://www.bitkeeper.com/press/2005-04-05.html>;
  <http://www.bitkeeper.com/Products.BK_Pro.FAQ.html#migration>;

- I am not setting an EXPIRATION_DATE yet as someone might want to pick
  up maintainership for the port in order to install the BitKeeper/Pro version.
  Someone else might want to set the date to 2005-06-30 though. Feel free
  if you think this port should be scheduled for removal yet.

I have no more interest in this port (I was interested in BitKeeper/Free only),
hence:

- Reset maintainership to ports@FreeBSD.org
