I propose deprecating the ftpd currently included in the base system

I had originally planned to try to do this before 13.0, but it
dropped
off my list. FTP is not nearly as relevant now as it once was, and it
had a security vulnerability that secteam had to address.
I'm happy to make a port for it if anyone needs it. Comments?
I would find the removal of ftpd to be very inconvenient unless there
was a port/pkg to install it from.
If there is a port, it would only be useful if I could set PREFIX=/usr
when building/installing it, so that its behavior when installed as a
port/pkg would be identical to how it was when it was part of base (in
terms of where its config files are located).
I like the sound of that. Except that I'd like to do it one better and
suggest something along the lines of PORTS_MODULES in make.conf(5).
Maybe
PORTS_DAEMONS= ftpd sshd rpcbind nfsd ypbind inetd etc...
That might make it a tenable for situation for everyone. ;-)
