(I am assuming "in 2 weeks" is timed to be post-freeze.) I agree that this looks non-useful. Not 100% related to removing it or not, but is there support in pkgsrc for SOCKS5 in general? It seems many programs (e.g. privoxy) have client support, sshd has server support for forwarding, and tor. So really I am asking whether there is a need that this program (if it could be found and if it could be used) fills, or if it's also redundant.
