The `--enable-deprecated-ports` is still there. All that is removed is an if
statement and a print line. I know the make syntax can seem intimidating, but
just ask me or any other build team member if you need help to recreate such a
thing. It is not like it is a complicated algorithm that can be written in many
ways. This is just make's equivalant of:
if (some_condition) {
println("whatever");
}
To me this is just utter nonsense to keep that commented out.
