I just a few weeks ago updated my system, and xpostit stopped working.
Couldn't figure out why.  Until I noticed the file had a mtime in
early 1999.  Apparently I built it way back then against XFree86 3.3
(3.2?  maybe...), and it kept on working up through Xorg 6.9 now until
some old compat (3.x?) code got yanked out of the kernel.

So, I wouldn't expect it to be so much _mandatory_   ;)
