Comment:

 As Ryan says we should only provide the latest version of these modules.
 As I understand it, libxml-enno provides an early implementation of both
 XML::Dom and XML::Regexp and has not been updated since 1999.  These
 modules are now maintained separately under their own names. As you point
 out, the only port that depends on libxml-enno directly is p5-ipe which
 is, itself, out of date.  Our version is 0.1.48 and the most current
 version is 0.3.1 which one would hope no longer depends on libxml-enno (I
 haven't checked).

 So I suggest dropping libxml-enno as obsolete when possible and conferring
 with p5-ipe's maintainer (also an upstream developer I believe) concerning
 upgrading and compatibility with the newer implementations.

 Copying p5-ipe's maintainer for information.
