 == Removed features ==
 
 This is a record of notable pieces of code that have been remove from MacPorts over the years due to disuse. It exists for historical interest and just in case bringing any of them back becomes desirable.
+
+=== rpm and deb packages ===
+r123004
+ This leaves pkg and mpkg packages. As the pkg and mpkg package formats are proprietary, and the rpm and deb packages are free and open, this might be a candidate for one of those cases mentioned above where bringing them back could be desirable, although it would require someone to put forth the extra maintenance effort required...
+
+=== `rpm-vercomp` function ===
+r123005
+ As the `vercmp` function seems to be a 1-for-1 replacement for it, this one should not be too big of a deal.
 
 === Building against a custom installation of Tcl ===
 r117621, r117623
