Why force people to install xfree86-rootless if they

Because is solves real, multi-hour problems.  The cost is very
marginal:  systems that need x-base and not x servers and their
price is only a few minutes of install time.  The disk space is
only worth mentioning that it is sub-marginal.
Yes, exactly.

Another thing: Right now, any package that needs libgl will install xfree86-rootless, because this is what provides libgl. This is OK, but it shows that the need of an X server is not an argument here.

BTW, OroborOSX does *not* work when xfree68-rootless is not installed.
