removal proposal: emacs25*
Based on earlier discussions:
* emacs 28 is the standard approach to emacs from pkgsrc.
* emacs 20 and 21 are more complicated and I am not addressing them;
they are separate from the normal "add new versions as released and
gc old versions" process.
* I hypothesize that there are likely zero users of emacs 25, or at
least zero users that intend to run 25 rather than upgrade to one of
26-29.
* The maintenance cost (including the CPU time in bulk builds) of old
emacs is low but not quite zero.
* There is no particular reason not to propose removing 26, but it
seems easier to see how 25 goes first.
Therefore I propose to remove emacs25 and emacs25-nox11 unless there are
objections. If you are wanting to keep using emacs25 from pkgsrc,
please explain why, as there are no currently known reasons to use it.
I will remove emacs25 no earlier than 1200Z on 30 August.
