Well.

I don't know if that has reach HEAD, but I'm sure it isn't on RELENG_5 
and I doubt it can reach RELENG_5_3.

And I'm sure this can't reach RELENG_4 on time to FreeBSD-4.11 (Our 
latest RELENG_4 release).

Right now, You can't boot xorg's Xserver if you don't have the right 
things under /tmp (mainly /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.ICE-Unix).

So, until the system patch reach our oldest maintained tag, this must be 
on ports.  I can see now several post on the lists from people that 
can't boot X after the upgrade.  Sure that most of them are related to this.
