"Because if your X server crashes it just loops forever"

At least that's the pathetic excuse that I've heard most often.

Basically, if it works, don't screw with it.  Starting it out of 
/usr/local/etc/rc.local sucks by comparison. (Oh dear, I just borked X, 
and xdm is confused.  'killall -9 xdm' and back it comes.  Perfect 
IMHO.)
