Between this mail and the actual commit there was only 36 minutes. Can
you please wait for answers next time? Otherwise there's little point
to mail ports@ if you don't give people the time to react.

(This not about net/wireless, but about the way we remove ports in a
general way)

I thought we waited a week* between the email to ports@ and the
removal. I don't see any reason to hurry to remove a port.

* like the usual maintainer's timeout

Thanks,
Daniel
