"it's broke"

If you're going to run bulk builds you're probably better off using
pbulk... the old bulk build stuff should really have been removed
years ago but there are still a few holdouts using it.

Are there? I don't recall seeing an old-style report sent to
pkgsrc-bulk@ for a long time now.

I was one of the last holdouts but haven't used it for a number of
years, pbulk is sufficiently mature and supports enough unique
features (e.g. distributed support) that I think we should just nuke
mk/bulk now.

i haven't even looked at the bulk reports since about January, but at
that point there were still a couple occasionally.

So do I, but I've thought that for at least 2-3 years :-/
