Comment (by petr@…):

 The deletion of zope ports was already proposed 5 years ago, and the zope
 ports were considered outdated at that time ("In the light of this and the
 extreme age"). From the ticket and a mail exchange on the devel list
 (https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2014-July/027466.html) I understand that providing zope ports of
 recent versions is not useful any more.

 Currently, the following ports seem to be defect and probably it is not
 worth the effort to fix them as nobody uses them anyway:

 * #44421        zope-zphotoslides: fails to build
 * #44422        zope: fails to activate on lion buildbot
 * #44423        zope and zope-btreefolder2 conflict
 * #44424        zope-portaltransforms: fails to build
 * #44425        zope-externalfile: fails to patch
 * #44426        zope-cmfformcontroller: fails to build
 * #44428        zope-validation: build failure

 Other zope related tickets are the following:

 * #20773: Add zope2.10
 * #43421: py-zopeinterface update to 4.1.1 and python 3.3+ support

 So can we proceed and delete the immediately without any deprecation
 period? There will be no update and no 'replaced_by', so probably this
 would be the easiest way to retire them all together.

 If you are okay with this I would proceed.
