Yeah. But AFAICS, there's not really any risk of X11 not working on
next-gen macOS. What we're whining about here is only that there won't
be an "officially supported" build, and we'll have to get it from MacPorts
or build it ourselves.

*This* is what worries me. Every time I do an OS update, Catalina reverts
/etc/auto_master to disable NFS automounts. I'm afraid that that means
Apple is thinking of dropping NFS support altogether --- and that does not
seem like something that can be stuck back on top, like X11 can be.
