Because .... and because users of the port haven't contributed the
code to make X work better, etc.

NetBSD is a user-supported system.  Avalon and NASA Ames are users of
the system, and they've been bloody good about contributing to its
development.  (CMU was also bloody good about contributing to
NetBSD/alpha's development, especially since they never really used it
for much, as far as I know! 8-)


That is, of course, only my opinion, which doesn't count for much
anymore since i'm no longer the port maintainer.  8-)
