This question is curiosity more than anything else.  What will happen to 
the existing ports cvs.  Will it merely stagnate, or will it be removed?

What I mean by this is if my cvsup-file is

*default host=cvsup11.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr/home/library/ctm/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-CVS
*default base=/usr/home/library/ctm/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-CVS
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix
cvs-all

then when I run this in Feb 28, will the ports subdirectory merely be 
unchanged, or will it be deleted in its entirety?
