Well.
I don't know if that has reach HEAD, but I'm sure it isn't on RELENG_5
and I doubt it can reach RELENG_5_3.
And I'm sure this can't reach RELENG_4 on time to FreeBSD-4.11 (Our
latest RELENG_4 release).
Right now, You can't boot xorg's Xserver if you don't have the right
things under /tmp (mainly /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.ICE-Unix).
So, until the system patch reach our oldest maintained tag, this must be
on ports. I can see now several post on the lists from people that
can't boot X after the upgrade. Sure that most of them are related to this.
