As I understand the EoL announcement the bsd.port.mk message would be "it may or may not work" and the port-build should not bail out. If my understanding is wrong, it would be nice if portmgr (CCed) could clarify this. The linux message is clearly "this will not work anymore" and the port-building should stop. As such the linux part should behave like IGNORE (BROKEN = build from time to time on the port build cluster in case it compiles again; IGNORE = do not even give it a try).
