    >From now on, Emacs will have such a problem with upcoming XFree86
    and Xorg releases.

There are several variants of XFree86 now, but I have heard that most
of them are not likely to be used much.  For instance, people told me
that the one called XFree86 is not likely to be used much.

I don't know what Xorg is.  Does Xorg have the same licence change
that XFree86 has?  All else being equal, we would prefer to recommend
releases which don't have that license change.
