A cost(=time)/benefit look on moving ctm from src/ to ports/ :
- No tangible architecture benefit (its not like purging an old driver
  to makes kernel support simpler, or avoiding clashing libs etc)
- FreeBSD would shrink 0.028 % of the size of src/
        cd /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src
        du -s -k .      # 1223922
        du -s -k `find . -type d -name \*ctm\*`
                196     ./usr.sbin/ctm
                74      ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm
                12      ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm_dequeue
                44      ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm_rmail
                18      ./usr.sbin/ctm/ctm_smail
        dc 196 74 12 44 18 + + + + p 344
        dc 344000000000 1223922 / p 281063      # then move 9 points
        xcalc 344 / 1223922     # 0.0002810636

Those who would do the work might want to ponder if 0.028 % is best use of 
their time, or if more fun & benefit to work on some other part of FreeBSD ?

Cheers,
Julian
