Comment (by cjones051073):

 Obsoleting macports clang compilers is fine, I am in favour of removing
 old ones as possible, but before obsoleting the port you first need to
 remove reference to them in base. A number of them are used as fallbacks
 and this needs to be removed, *and* made available to users as a public
 release, *before* the port is declared obsolete. Macports clang 5.0 is a
 very common only used fallback, so please do not obsolete this one at
 least before removing all references to it in base. I recently had to do
 this for 3.9 and 4.0 in base, which should have been done before the ports
 themselves where declared as obsolete.
