Has anyone made a case that an icewm other then 3 is needed?  You have
implicitly made a deletion proposal, to set icewm to the latest and rm
the rest.  Nobody has said they need an older one.  Nobody has explained
how we came to have so many in the first place.

While I tend to object to "I don't like this in pkgsrc because <reason>
and I want to remove it"  I view multiple versions as a sign  of
upstream problems and if there's no good reason why people wouldn't use
the current release recommended by upstream, life is simpler with just
that, and it's the standard approach.
