Uh? Remember the first part of my email: if this is really an issue, why 
not just create X version 12 which would keep every useful features of 
the X version 11 server but remove all the obsolete features?

Dumping X just because it has some obsolete features looks to me as 
"jeter le bébé avec l’eau du bain" (dropping the baby with the bath's 
water).
