If there are any such users, we should be trying to get them to provide
a buildfarm member, so that we can honestly say that the port works.
I see removal of the port files as a way to send an unmistakable signal
that we're not going to continue to guess about that. We can always put
back a given port if volunteers emerge to support it.
