What i really miss compared to 4.* and 5.3 (and compared to NetBSD and
OpenBSD) is that there is a single package with a known name that can be
downloaded and unpacked and you have a X11 environment to go.
I have not searched the archives for the "when" and "why" of the decision to
drop it.  But its absence really hurts me.
