I've gone to the #bitrig IRC channel and I've gotten an answer. Bitrig is dead-dead. As you see in the ensuing logs, the IRC channel has 13 users incl. myself, none of whom I believe currently use Bitrig.

22/09 00:32.03 < MelMalik> That's definitely a topic.
22/09 00:33.27 < MelMalik> Charlotte Koch from pkgsrc writes on the pkgsrc mailing list, "does it make sense to keep Bitrig support in pkgsrc?" To the extent that there remains a
Bitrig community, I proffer that it makes sense to confront said community with this information.
22/09 04:00.26 <@drahn> essentially, no. there is no sense in keeping Bitrig support.
22/09 04:06.55 < MelMalik> thanks.
22/09 04:07.27 < MelMalik> and may I ask your relation to the Bitrig project, drahn ?
22/09 04:11.18 <@drahn> ex-developer (the only one left here)
22/09 04:11.54 <@drahn> the last work that occurred on bitrig was arm64 port which I was working on.
22/09 04:12.27 < MelMalik> thank you
22/09 04:12.39 < MelMalik> and do I have your permission to release this to the pkgsrc-users mailing list?
22/09 04:12.47 <@drahn> sure.
22/09 04:12.51 < MelMalik> thank you.


Thanks for reaching out to them, Ellenor. That's definitely conclusive.

As I mentioned in another message on this thread, I think I'll go ahead
and remove Bitrig support once the current freeze is finished.

Charlotte
