I disagree with the timming.  We have yet to have a single report that
-current packages available on the FTP site are even built against X4.
The last time I checked Bento was building against X4, but those packages
weren't making it to the FTP server.  Unless someone has touched
Sysinstall WRT installing X4 since I last did, the support is still
incomplete.

This needs more flushing out in -current before doing it for -stable.
