That's fine, there should still be an option to use the old Xorg or new, in the middle of a release. That kind of a major change needs a new version (they should have waited for version 7) and the users should be shielded from that magnitude of changes until they opt for the new version.
There's no excuse for tearing my system up when I try to build one new package.
It was a sloppy, ill-conceived way to operate, and there's no excuse for it.
