This was not my assertion. I took it from Lyndon Nerenberg's post
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=486657+0+archive/2006/freebsd-ports/20060507.freebsd-ports

	"Nobody in their right mind is going to expend the hours required
	 to port this for no net gain."

and Mark Linimon's (partial) confirmation in:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=503047+0+archive/2006/freebsd-ports/20060507.freebsd-ports

	"As other posters have pointed out, ATM there would be no net gain."

If it were simply my being "totally wrong" that angered you, you'd be flaming 
these two gentlemen even harder...

Actually, I'd rather you did not say this blackmail... You posted a good 
clarification of what you are doing. Unfortunately, Kris -- and now you -- 
have turned the thread from what, if anything, can/should/must be done about 
x11 ports to whether or not any criticism is allowed...

Yours,
