I didn't hear any counter to that. I'd also like to point out that many things still have 'direct' dependencies on XFree86-4-*.

There are bigger problems with our XFree86 handling than having to deal with so many people wanting X4.2 in ports less than a week before the release. And what's done is done, so let's solve some *real* problems. XFree86 4.2.0 will be in ports early next week after the release, mark my words.
