I personally vote for removing 'unmaintained' completely. I'm a big fan
of httpup repositories, because they're giving a wide range of people
the chance to distribute their ports. Not every user has (shell-)
access to a server for running cvsupd. Webspace is cheap & everywhere
available.

De-centralization would be okay - but we need a central index of all
ports.
