I agree, but I am not sure how in the ports land we do an application testing in

the possible hardware and software configurations).
Why not just create a new xorg-server177 or xorg-server-devel port as has been
done with other ports?
Would it be really worth it?
1.7.7 is just couple of minor releases ahead of what we have now and the latest
_release_ is 1.9.2.
So, xorg-server-devel for 1.9.2 - that would make sense for my taste.
xorg-server-devel for 1.7.7 - just an overcautiousness and, IMO, a waste of
resources.
It would depend on how compatible the newer server is with the existing
xorg ports. But sure, go with the newest one that still works.
If these ports are too shaky for normal users, they wouldn't even have
to go in the tree. Put them on a web page somewhere. But this would
ast least allow a wider range of testing.
