>Description:
	At USENIX I talked with re (scottl) and others about making xorg the
	default for 5.3, and it was agreed that the switch would be fine, even
	with pkg_delete -f and reinstalling being necessary, as long as it
	happened before -STABLE.  Of course some solution involving MOVED so it
	was all automatic would be better, but I'm not aware of any without
	repocopying XFree86 away and making X.org the default for all.

	Here's a (link to a) patch to make the switch, and make the XFree86 and
	X.org ports be supported equally by bsd.port.mk and the ports tree.  I
	haven't actually completed a "make index" -- it died on
	x11-toolkits/open-motif last time and since then I cvsupped and other
	ports broke it it seems.

	Could this get queued for bento testing?
