Hi everyonne. I'm currently working to update glib2 and its extended family.
In doing so, I noticed a note inside py-gobject3 about "older ports" needing 
the ability to build with python 3.6.

I ran `port list depends:py36-gobject3`, and got gnome-music and gnome3-core 
for results.

Regarding the former, the gnome-music port is currently version 3.24.2, 
released in may 2017, while the current version, as of a couple of months ago, 
is 48.3.
Regarding gnome3-core, we have 3.26.2, release in november 2017. GNOME 3 went 
EOL five years ago, after 3.38.0.

So... is anybody actually using these things? I see they have been maintained 
relatively recently with chores and menial updates, but they haven't actually 
beenn updated in years, and I thik it'd be ridiculous to hold important updates 
to big libraries because of them.

For now, I think I won't touch them, but I really think they should be removed, 
especially if they prove to be blockers for updating py-gobject3.

All the best.
