What we have now is xorg 7.0 pulled from their cvs repository and a few 
critical patches applied. I don't see why we couldn't continue like 
that, just pulling the next release from git.

I didn't look at their repositories for some time now, was more 
concerned with getting to work what we have right now.

Good question. Do the xorg packages from pkgsrc work on anything 
non-x86?
One point of having xorg in xsrc is cross-compiling.

Pretty much all our improvements have been fed back into XFree86.
