What makes it more complicated / time consuming with xdm is that you need to figure out the service for it. If you or anyone else wants to work on it, I can send a patch (external, not applying to guix.git). Fwiw, I looked at the work OpenBSD does with their X11 patching (for more time than I am willing to admit), and it's not worth to extract and re-apply the meaningful patches for one single project. I don't get why parabola is re-purposing this X11 work, but OpenBSD work is usually written for OpenBSD with an underlying OpenBSD system in mind. That's not to say their X11 is "useless", it's just useful in OpenBSD.
