hg-forest isn't even compatible with mercurial 2.x, without a maintainer or a 
replacing port can we just remove it? or do we need a grace period as the guide 
says?

I do think the replaced_by is a bit heavy handed if it works like explained in 
the guide, swapping out peoples hgsvn install for hgsubversion on upgrade feels 
wrong even though hgsubversion might be a better approach. Is there a precedent 
for stopping new installs of a port but not swapping out peoples existing 
installs?
