 Take the following example:
 {{{
 PortSystem          1.0
 PortGroup           perl5 1.0

 perl5.branches      5.10 5.12 5.14 5.16 5.18 5.20
 perl5.setup         Test-Tester 0.109
 revision            1
 license             {Artistic-1 GPL}

 if {${perl5.major} != ""} {
     replaced_by     p${perl5.major}-test-simple
 } else {
     replaced_by     p5-test-simple
 }

 PortGroup           obsolete 1.0
 }}}
 Should I keep the branches 5.10-5.14 in the "obsolete" `Portfile`?
