Bug 251947: x11-servers/xwayland: deprecate in favor of -devel version
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251947



--- Description ---
I'd like to take maintainership but... only when 1.21.0 is released which may
never happen[1]. Given no known working[2] compositor uses this port let's
avoid spreading QA too thin. For example, xf86-video-intel gave up on tracking
releases years ago.

Fedora 34 plans[3] to use development snapshot(s). Once released xserver may
have fewer (if any) hw/xwayland changes in 1.20.*, leaving server-1.20-branch
mainly for hw/xfree86 (bare metal). So, my current proposal is to add the
following:

  DEPRECATED=	   Upstream no longer maintains Xwayland on stable branches,
use x11-servers/xwayland-devel instead
  EXPIRATION_DATE= 2021-04-01
