I see.  I'm afraid you just need to wait just a little longer then.  I
don't think we need to add another knob for a problem that will go
away by itself soon.

Sorry, didn't mean to say that servers will be 3.x only.  There will
be 3.x and 4.0 servers (which the user can choose from), with 4.0 libs
etc.

Hopefully this will go away too, when we manage to split up the
XFree86 port to make it a "true" dependency.
