Joe Marcus Clarke törölte a GNOME 1.4-et a FreeBSD ports fából. Ennek ellenére az összes GNOME 1.4 könyvtár marad, azok nem kerültek eltávolításra. Ez azt jelenti hogy a GNOME 1.4 akalmazások (mint például a GnuCash) továbbra is működni fognak.

Subject: HEADS UP: GNOME 1.4 Desktop is no longer in the tree

Per my warning, I have removed the GNOME 1.4 desktop from the ports tree. All GNOME 1.4 libraries will remain, however. This means GNOME 1.4 applications such as GnuCash will continue to work just fine.
Phase II of the GNOME 1.4 de-orbit burn will include hunting down ports that use, for example, the GNOME 1.4 panel, and removing them or the part of them that requires the panel. After that, x11/libpanel will be removed from the tree as well.
