The benefit of this, as well as being able to unmerge a package, is that it removes the Xsession option when using gdm (because of /usr/share/xsessions/Xsession.desktop) x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.12 (really just Xvfb) with USE="-debug -dmx -doc ipv6 -kdrive -minimal -suid systemd -test udev -unwind wayland -xcsecurity -xephyr -xnest -xorg xvfb" builds fine for me without xinit installed. My only caution it that I don't understand why x11-apps/xinit is in CDEPEND and not just RDEPEND. My hope would be it could move to RDEPEND as: xorg? ( x11-apps/xinit )
