I have a few ports that I keep voluntarily in an out-of-date state (because the newer version does not compile without work and does not add any useful feature). If someone finds it is worth updating, then he can spend the time to open a trac ticket requesting an update. This way, it is possible to explain why not update it. I feel that a feature request must put a little work on the requester as it can give a lot of work to the maintainer. Emmanuel
