I just discovered that X11R6.1 has been available since March.  The 
differences between X11R6 and R6.1 are fairly minor, mostly bug fixes and 
completion of a few extensions formerly considered workInProgress.  It 
should be fully source, binary, and protocol compatible with X11R6.  
Also, it is interesting to note the FreeBSD 2.1.0R is now officially 
supported (it was FreeBSD 1.1 in X11R6).

So the question is:  When are we going to upgrade to X11R6.1?  There 
don't seem to be any compelling reasons not to, other than the effort it 
takes to make a port.  Does anyone on the XFree86 team know what the 
status of XFree86 under X11R6.1 is?  XFree86 3.1.2C does seem to be 
integrated into X11R6.1 itself and there is also an odd directory named
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree98 which seems to be a subset of xfree86, 
with no accompanying documentation!
