I agree with ruskie and Arwed (et al); we should remove these spells for
the reasons mentioned. What reasons are there for even using XFree86
anymore? And my question does not imply there is no reason -- I would
sincerely like to see people's reasons for xfree86 over xorg-modular (or
xorg, even), as I am sure some exist.

So, in that case, shouldn't xfree86 be moved to z-rejected instead of
removed? Spells there aren't maintained as well as the other grimoires,
so it'd fit nicely among the crowd ;). If someone wants it, they can
get it. If they want to maintain it, they can. The rest of us can
remain oblivious.

But perhaps I am missing a greater point. Would keeping this spell,
even in z-rejected, still cause headaches?

I require no direct answers -- just thought I'd bring up some points
(although I suspect many have been considered already, and thus, I
likely bring nothing new to the table).
