The BMC thing sounds a bit more special-purpose than portreserve, and
presumably could be done in its own package that could perhaps be
installed as needed depending on the hardware.
So is the next step to deprecate portreserve? What actually needs to be
done for that to happen?

Now that systemd is used by default, I think it is time to deprecate
portreserve.
For those unfamiliar with it, portreserve is a small utility which binds
specific network ports early on during the boot process, so that
services using those ports can claim them when they start. The point is
