Uh, this is our standard operating procedure for moving things out of base,
and Cy has helped with many of these:

/usr/ports/net/44bsd-rdist
/usr/ports/shells/44bsd-csh
/usr/ports/sysutils/44bsd-more
/usr/ports/audio/freebsd-13-mixer
/usr/ports/ftp/freebsd-ftpd
/usr/ports/misc/fortune-mod-freebsd-classic
/usr/ports/net/freebsd-route6d
/usr/ports/net/freebsd-routed
/usr/ports/net/freebsd-telnetd
/usr/ports/net/freebsd-uucp
/usr/ports/sysutils/freebsd-bsdlabel
/usr/ports/sysutils/freebsd-fdisk
/usr/ports/sysutils/freebsd-shar

I'm surprised you are so out of touch with how we handle this given you are
proposing removing something?

This warrants an apology, especially given your own clear ignorance
above.
