I see in the PR you suggest getting rid of the portsnap servers as  
well. 8 and 9 are still supported releases. Does this mean that anyone  
running 8.4 or 9.2 is going to lose the ability to upgrade their ports  
tree quickly and easily unless they also upgrade their servers /from a  
supported release/?
