I thought we started branching xsrc. The cvs log on xsrc/Makefile seems to=
=20
agree. As such, I don't think -current xsrc should be required to support=
=20
previous releases anymore.

As to the origianal point, I don't think we really need to support old=20
releases of -current. xsrc is now much more fully integrated with the=20
rest of the build system, so if you want to run X with current (and build=
=20
from source), you really should download both together.

Take care,

Bill
