Comment (by aronnax@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 jeremyhu@…]:
 > I think we should stop providing the LaunchAgent in the xinit port and
 instead provide it in the xorg-server and xorg-server-devel ports.

 Sounds fine to me, but:

 What depends on {{{xinit}}}? On my machine I see only:
 {{{
 $ port dependents xinit
 xorg-apps depends on xinit
 xorg-server depends on xinit
 }}}

 Why does {{{xorg-apps}}} depend on {{{xinit}}}? Perhaps this question just
 exposes my ignorance of X11's architecture. If {{{xinit}}} was only a
 dependency of {{{xorg-server}}}, then I would say that it might be OK to
 have {{{xinit}}} provide the LaunchAgent.
