Yes, if db48 remove is extended every 2 months then I think it will
probably get revisited every time it happens.

There's really two logical choices:

1) remove the deprecation of db48 and commit to keeping it indefinitely
2) remove the bitcoin ports in two months.

something like this taking "years" is pretty scary.  It shouldn't be
that hard.  I'll defer to your knowledge and accept that it is.
