Port gd2 is at 2.0.33. If gd 1.x is no longer needed couldn't we just delete it and use the gd2 port?
Aaaa! Yes, why was r21414 committed? I would have thought the point of having a gd and a gd2 port was to keep the 1.x and 2.x series separate.
There may be some cases where programs that worked with gd1 won't work with gd2, according to the gd faq:

How do we discover which ports, if any, depend on gd? "port echo depends_lib:gd" does not seem to work (produces an error).
I have found grepping portindex and such to give confusing results, maybe I just don't know the right method though. I just did a 'port deps all' and searched the output. I see no dependencies on gd 1.x at all and it seems unlikely there will be new ports depending on it. I think it is nukeworthy. Nuke! Nuke! Nuke! Nuke! Mark
