What i really miss compared to 4.* and 5.3 (and compared to NetBSD
and OpenBSD) is that there is a single package with a known name
that can be downloaded and unpacked and you have a X11 environment
to go.
I have not searched the archives for the "when" and "why" of the
decision to drop it.  But its absence really hurts me.
