 Replying to [comment:6 vinc17 at macports.org]:
 > This is completely stupid! Unison 2.13 is still proposed by upstream and
 not declared as outdated. On the other hand, look at all these useless db*
 ports.

 What do you mean "proposed by upstream"? And I believe the db* ports exist
 because of software packages that depend on specific versions of db*.

 Ok, then install 2.13 on your local machine. My point still stands - we
 are not in the business of providing old ports unless there is a clear
 demand from other ports that depend on specific versions (such as the db*
 ports, or python2.4). Nothing depends on unison. We should not hold
 ourselves back just because other packaging systems do.
