Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I just stumbled upon the ports for firefox and thunderbird, and<br>
thought this would be an easy way to ensure I always have a recent<br>
version on each machine, where port upgrade outdated is run periodically.<br>
<br>
But they are, how to put this delicately, stinking old? Or am I<br>
missing something here?<br>

Shouldn't we delete them, so no user will actually use these old<br>
farts? TB 2.0 is from 2007, FF 7 is from 2001. If these are the actual<br>
versions, I do not want to know how many critical bugs have been fixed<br>
since...<br>
<br>
Of course it would be nice if someone would step up and maintain them.<br>
I'm lacking both time and experience.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Johannes<br>
