Description (last modified by chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez))
servlet23-api and servlet24-api, which were developed alongside of Tomcat 4 and 5 respectively, are both end-of-life. I would suggest these ports be deleted, but found that they have many indirect dependents. Some of those appear to still be maintained upstream, so I would anticipate objections to deleting ports that are only outdated.
What should be done with these dependent ports? Should they be kept and updated to a newer supported dependency (e.g. a port created for Servlet API 3.0 or later), or should they be removed?
