P.S.
Just out of curiosity: why weren't these ports removed, since we all know they were going to stop working?

Why remove them while they are still working fine?


BTW, some already had a deprecation notice.

I know.

What I meant was not to remove them early; I was just curious why they weren't removed at the same time XFCE 4.16 was introduced, since they stopped working on that same day.

Rationale is: don't waste time trying to build them, since it's useless.

They are marked BROKEN, so not being build anyway. At least in theory port rules require a deprecation period for ports before removal, including BROKEN ones.

Someone could step in and fix them, for example, this is easier if the port is not actually removed.
