Once it is moved to tier III it should not impact any work anyone
wants to do, as making it more broken is then fine.

Deleting a port that our documentation says is supported with two

some lists people may not even be on may well make people worried that
the port they use might disappear while they are on holiday. And the
documentation needs fixing.
