I agree with acm@ and baaz that flavorization benefits most people.

Using DEFAULT_VERSIONS assumes that everyone has a machine to run poudriere or
a machine that can compile xlibre ports. The ports themselves are not very
time-consuming, but dependencies that are not necessarily related to xlibre can
consume a lot of resources on a low-powered laptop. And from a user's
perspective, simply installing xlibre from pkg is easier than installing and
configuring poudriere, setting DEFAULT_VERSIONS, installing a web server to
distribute it to all machines, etc. While we discuss this, people are using the
unofficial repository created by baaz instead of the official one provided by
FreeBSD.

We are not replacing xorg with xlibre, we are just providing packages for
xlibre that work together seamlessly. In fact, I have installed xlibre on my
low-powered laptop with evilwm, badwolf, and a few other x11 applications, and
it works flawlessly.
