Meh. They have different priorities than we do. No reason for us to follow what

In this instance, though, I think their reasoning is correct.
So you would like MacPorts to delete all ports that depend on osxfuse, and all 
ports that depend on those ports, and so on?

Each of those ports was added to MacPorts because someone wanted it. What are 
they to do once we delete them?

The FUSE implementation itself already has a binary installer (and indeed, we cannot build it from source since there are none), and so if one wants it, it's easy to install without our infrastructure.

I've suggested elsewhere that it's a good idea to probably take the last open source version of FUSE for MacOS and figure out how to get it to work without needing a kernel extension given that those are on the way out.

Anyway, this is just one person's opinion. I'm not going to yell very loud if it stays, but it feels icky to me.
