You're right, and I apologize -- I realized it shortly after I posted,
but I'd shut down my email machine to upgrade it to modular xorg and
couldn't reply.  However, the same is true of modular-xorg-server,
libX11, and libXfont -- they're all part of modular xorg (I checked
their DESCR files this time...), they all have security advisories
against older versions, and they're all missing any binary packages.
