sys-cluster/wulfware ships a xmlsysd service to monitor on GRID-, Beowulf-, LAN- and server farms..

xmlsysd		7887/tcp	# xmlsysd remote system stats (clusters)

so far we only have a pkg_postinst message saying user should add it..

hrm, 7887 has already been registered with IANA:
ubroker         7887/tcp    Universal Broker
ubroker         7887/udp    Universal Broker

Some history,

I added wulfware to replace xmlsysd and wulfstat which haven't been touched since 2004 or so, and wulfstat was unemergable (no distfile) for long time and noone reported about it.

So conclusion, this doesn't have so many users. Would it make sense to leave it as postinst message, and close this as RESO, CANTFIX?

Vapier?

if consumers are low, then that sounds fine to me since the pkg isnt modifying /etc/services
