I've been talking to Dejan at that time but I can't remember if I
actually meant that we were going to add new X.org directly in
LOCALBASE. Though I haven't tried to contact him for a while, I guess
he's been busy with other things these days.

I somehow inherited a x11 hat and IMHO, it would be better to move to
LOCALBASE after we moved everything else and made sure all ports were
X11BASE-clean.
