xorg-server in MacPorts

[Sergey Fedorov]

Greetings, everyone
A couple of questions re xorg-server:

1. Is there any special reason to keep xorg-server at an apparently archaic
version in MacPorts? For legacy systems there is a dedicated port, so that
is not a concern.

2. Does anyone know if xorg-server is modular, specifically, is hw/xquartz
more or less independent of the rest? I am asking since aside of xquartz
everything seems to build easily even on older macOS. However xquartz from
the upstream master will not build with gcc, since it uses blocks (and
there are other issues with the code). Is it sensible to try using an older
xquartz module with the otherwise modern codebase? (It does not need to be
literally a drop-in, of course, moderate adjustments can be made.)
