Per my email to ports the other week, XFree86-4 requires a maintainer
interested in keeping support alive.  In particular since we now have
no supported build architectures that are using XFree86-4 by default,
it will be (and has been) entirely untested with the post-X.org
changes and will quickly rot.

So far no-one has stepped up to volunteer maintainership of XFree86-4,
so we will shortly begin the usual deprecation process.
