I would suggest that deprecation (without a specific expiry date) is a good way to issue that recommendation. I don't know of any recent cases but there have been past cases where people have unknowingly installed obsolete ports and then run into problems. It would be useful if there was a mechanism to warn users that the port they are about to install (or have installed) is no longer recommended. -- Peter Jeremy
