I could have sworn I had, but releng trac disagrees, I seem to have 
stopped at the "mark retired in pkgdb" step.  Fixing.

But that raises its own question, why is that not sufficient to get the 
package blocked?  I mean, besides that the code currently doesn't 
implement that.  Who would own hooking up that bit of pkgdb to that bit 
of the compose process?
