    What Ruslan writes in the Message-ID: <20040219090357.GD5351@ip.net.ua>:

    gives me interesting idea. It is clear that always waiting for the next
    import to remove something is too unrealistic, some programs not touched
    for years. In the same time what already imported must be keeped in sync
    with evolving FreeBSD changes. It means that FREEBSD-Xlist alone, which
    reflects import state at the moment of importing can't play its role to
    reflect changes between imports too.

    So I suggest adding yet one file (gcc already do that way),
    FREEBSD-deleted (or maybe under some other name) where changes between
    imports reflected while NOT removing anything from the vendor branch. On
    the next import somebody merge contents of FREEBSD-deleted into
    FREEBSD-Xlist and actually delete them from the vendor branch, removing
    FREEBSD-deleted.

    Lets return to my case as example: to fix situation in that way I may
    remove getopt* lines from FREEBSD-Xlist's and put them into
    FREEBSD-deleted's instead.
