Not too sure, however, I think the whole idea of maintaining the two is
rather stupid and the resources would be better spent simply maintaining one
than trying to pander to those who wish to use XFree86 4.4

For all intensive purposes, Xorg has become the defacto standard for X11
implementations; FreeBSD might as well go with the flow.
