13 To be clear here: nothing will be broken. Xorg 7.0 will just not
14 provide virtual/x11 (and in fact blocks it), so there will be issues
15 with blocks showing up due to the upgrade path. Avoiding the upgrade
16 (and blockage) is very easy if necessary (eg, you use 200 unported
17 packages or something).
