Not really. I mean, ryan has said often enough[1] that users should
switch to the (more widely) supported apache2 port.

But, but, but! That sounds like work! And people™ are still using those
ports! (Seriously, we should consider if that is REALLY a valid reason
or just go with what mojca said. I'd be for removing the ports, but I'm
not exactly authoritative.)

If it was my decision, I'd be all for it.

Down with the cruft!
