Yes. Disabling parallel build fixed it, so I brought it back.

None of that is grounds for deletion. The question should rather be, why
delete it?

OK, you didn't mention the name collision in your commit message. One or

port takes precedence, since of course it would be really confusing for
anyone who did happen to have it installed to upgrade and get completely
different software.

But if you're sure nobody uses it...
