filePro and PHP

I was updating a FreeBSD server over the weekend, and I noticed that it failed 
to upgrade a package, specifically the filePro PHP-5 extension. Not that I used 
it all that often (had the native connectivity been there we still would be 
developing in filePro), but the error appeared to mean that the extension was 
deleted.

I went to freshports and it said
Port Moves
     * port deleted on 2006-11-06
       REASON: Removed in 5.2 branch

So I went to PHP's website and saw this
Note:  This extension has been moved to the PECL repository and is no longer 
bundled with PHP as of PHP 5.2.0.

Which would be good if it actually was there.

RIP PHP-filePro, you never had a chance.
