 * Thanks Satoshi and Taguchi-san!!  Now, what about XFree86 3.3.6?  I hope
 * you're not planning on making XFree86 4.0 the only X server option for
 * installing with the system...

Of course not!

Even after the rest of XFree86-3.3.6 is phased away, the servers will
remain in our tree for quite a while, since some of the cards that
only 3.3.6 support are old stuff that 4.0 doesn't have much chance to
support (or so I heard).

 * We still have about 1 month left to do these ports.  Basically it should
 * be mostly a copy of the current XFree86-4-* ports...

Actually I don't see much point in spending too much time on these.
How about making them binary ports that will just fetch the files from

 ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.6/binaries/FreeBSD-3.x/Servers/

? ;)

Satoshi
