To build X sources, or not to build X sources

[Chris Ross <cross+netbsd%distal.com@localhost>]

  I ask this question as someone who runs no desktop NetBSD systems,  
at the moment.

  I've been keeping my src and xsrc trees up to date when I build  
things.  And was thinking, "Why are these separate?"  Clearly, the  
answer is because many people don't need/want the xsrc repository.

  Myself, I've been of the habit of installing xbase on all systems,  
just to have the few clients I need to, say, run "resize" and various  
other things.  I can't remember the last time I actually invoked a  
true X client on my servers, though, so I've come to wonder, is there  
really any point in continueing to build all of the X packages?

  In large part, this e-mail is an inquiry of opinion.  Is there  
anyone who finds the basics of building X important, yet still isn't  
planning to use it to run X servers and/or specific X clients?

  Just wondering if I can/should save myself some build time [until I  
next consider running a NetBSD desktop]...

  Thanks.
