Hi everyone,

I just stumbled upon the ports for firefox and thunderbird, and
thought this would be an easy way to ensure I always have a recent
version on each machine, where port upgrade outdated is run periodically.

But they are, how to put this delicately, stinking old? Or am I
missing something here?

Shouldn't we delete them, so no user will actually use these old
farts? TB 2.0 is from 2007, FF 7 is from 2001. If these are the actual
versions, I do not want to know how many critical bugs have been fixed
since...

Of course it would be nice if someone would step up and maintain them.
I'm lacking both time and experience.

Regards,
Johannes
