We have over 500 pear modules that were added to MacPorts in a batch in
2011, most of which have never been updated since then. I'm guessing most
of them are out of date by now. Just looking at a few:

We either need an automated way to update them all, similar to the
automated way in which they were presumably originally added, or else a
concerted manual effort to update them, or we need to rethink whether we
want them in MacPorts at all.
There's only one non-pear port in MacPorts that depends on any pear ports,
and that's "base". If we don't want to keep the entire collection of pear
modules up to date in MacPorts, we could remove all but those that base
needs. Or we could remove all the pear modules and base as well.
