Can you explain what "remove legacy DRI support" means? It seems like what's in pkgsrc should least work with various vintages of X servers on various platforms. If this is just loss of an older acceleration style, that's one thing. But if it means you can't reasonably run signficant programs unless you have a new-style xserver, that seems not ok. (I am pretty fuzzy on all this DRI/DRM/KMS stuff. My QDSS on a uVax II with X10 was so much simpler...)
