I don't think it's so simple cause you can run up-to-date -STABLE
with your "old" Xorg version, etc.  In this current case we can't change
the X11 path without a warn to people still using previous Xorg version.
I'm not against the change, I'm against the fact we will cause trouble
to persons that are not following, for various reasons, the last ports
collection evolutions.
