Anyone running X11 apps on Mojave?

[Richard L. Hamilton]

One might suppose there are still people for which the standalone packaging of Xquartz might be preferable - people that for whatever reason, don't want to deal with the extra steps involved in installing MacPorts (including installing Xcode plus command line tools), let alone updating it, and don't think they'd want any of the other packages it offers.

In fact, the maintainer of the Xquartz releases has stated that they may well no longer make releases there, and only maintain the MacPorts provided version (via the xorg-server port) going forward.
