Comment (by ryandesign@…):
Replying to [ticket:39383 macsforever2000@…]:
> Some ports have no_x11 as a legacy variant, but I don't see a reason to
keep them around since they do nothing.
The no_x11 legacy variants exist so that users who had previously selected
those variants will continue to have X11 disabled after upgrading. All
ports that are converted from no_x11 to x11 variants should maintain such
a no_x11 legacy variant for one year so that users upgrading the ports do
not suddenly receive features they specifically requested not to receive.
