Well, you basically said you're more important than anybody

regularly reads this list, so good luck with that tact.

maybe one DELETIONS ( a sticky or subsection)
and/or PENDING DELETIONS ... and/or
and deleted ports could be bought back again for those
who find them useful, even if someone was reading about
a years-ago removal.
Pardiff (diffp ) comes to mind (just removed this week)
I use the diffp binary for diffing ports-to-upgrade pipe
results between days (diffp portlist.MON portlist.TUE)
I suppose mergemaster.sh could even be updated to
be more similar to the output of diffp.

Just puttting that idea onto the forum expansion, which
maybe could solve problems quicker than PR's.
For instance, as of now,
textproc/po4a
x11/roxterm
devel/dconf
all fail to build "failed to load exteral entity "http://docbook.sourceforg=
e.net/release/
xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl" "
and maybe if the forum had been expanded, threads (dconf po4a roxterm) would
have been started/updated explaining the fix, if anyone knew it. =
