Probably not, at least not the xorg branch. I'm hosting this tree on a
personal server and while it doesn't bother me to use bandwidth for
that, I can't tell it will stay there forever (I'll probably upgrade the
server soon, so the tree will be dropped and recreated) so I'm not
really comfortable seeing people using it as a day to day replacement
for portsnap (which IMHO is much faster, if you're not doing any
development).
