I suspect Marc assumed that "SUBDIRS += ruby-foo,ruby32" were all
still around the place.  If some still existed then yes, it would be
better to start with dropping them.  But (as usual) you have already
unhooked the ruby32 packages:

  revision 1.2492

  Stop building ruby32 ports by default
  
  Ruby 3.2 is now in security maintenance mode, so per our Ruby support
  policy, we will no longer build ruby32 packages by default.

HTH,
