We do: increase the revision.

If you mean we should have a reliable way to programmatically increase the revision of a port, maybe, but I'm not sure how to programmatically understand the coding style of a given portfile.

I don't consider that a problem. The php web site also still distributes versions of php that they no longer support. In any case it does not relate to the discussion at hand.
