--- Comment #4 from Tomoaki AOKI <[email protected]> ---
I don't like the flavorization idea for this.
Why not using DEFAULT_VERSIONS way? I cannot understand.

With DEFAULT_VERSIONS way, once freedesktop.org completely switches to Wayland
and abandon X11, what we need would be simply switching default in
Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk.

And, although rejected by XLibre devs, I've proposed PoC patch at forums.

Anyway, even if forcing flavorization way, the default SHALL be xorg at least
for now.

It would be better delaying to modify nvidia driver related ports until nvidia
decides to officially support XLibre, regardless flavorizing or
DEFAULD_VERSIONS way to be chosen.

This is because there are binary-only proprietary part (even on open source
versions still has binary only libraries / objects) that only nvidia can
modify.
