--- Comment #2 from Michael Osipov <michael.osipov@siemens.com> ---
Well, I have expressed exactly this case right here:
* https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270989#c12
* https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270989#c13

I was told that flavors are preferred.

Reason why X11.so does not exist anymore: 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270989#c3

So there are few options:
* Don't use flavors, but OPTIONs only (not ideal)
* Always depend on X11 like other OS vendors do (e.g., Debian). Many 
likely don't want these deps by default. (not ideal)
* Implement a package supersede mechanism in the ports system which can swap
@default with @x11 because it is a superset. (ideal)
* Use the deprecated approach with dynamic library separation as with 9 (not
ideal at all)

I don't see a perfect solution here, unfortunately.

Ideas?
