Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 I do not think ports should now be added for Tcl/Tk 8.4. The developers of
 Tcl/Tk say 8.4 is long unsupported and want anyone still using it to
 upgrade. The same probably goes for Tcl/Tk 8.5 which is now end-of-life.

 As suggested in #15095, BLT should be either obsoleted, updated to a
 8.6-compatible version (available but not officially released), or
 replaced with a BLT alternative compatible with 8.6.

 Should the current maintainer of `tcl`/`tk` ports be notified of this
 ticket, and should this ticket be closed?
