OK, sorry, maybe I got the order of commits a bit wrong, but:
- If we would remove subports before we remove the variants, we would
end up with invalid ports, depending on no longer existing ports (if
what you say is true, then we have a chicken and egg problem anyway,
so there's not much we can/could do anyway).
- I have the graveyard port ready.

(I'm only slightly inclined to wait a tiny bit until the buildbots
have cought up with the history, else other unsuspected committers
will be unable to extract whether anything was wrong with their
commits.)

I believe (or at least hope) so.
