net-mgmt/netdot -> unmaintained

https://github.com/cvicente/Netdot

netdot is abandonware. the last commit was 4 years ago. The last release was in 2017.

If the port rots in future, it's unlikely that many people will notice, as the software does not support basic networking features, e.g. VRFs, etc.

Hello,

The best thing to do here is deprecate port.
I'm not familiar with this software, is that a reccommendation for a migration, i.e., is that some software that might replace this one?

Thanks

deprecating the port would be a good idea.

A lot of people have migrated to net-mgmt/netbox instead. This would be good candidate for a recommendation.
