See: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1163922.html Xorg depends on x11-apps/rgb. Xorg doesn't need that package to build and run properly. For those who don't want to read that thread, there seems to even be a commit upstream from 15 years ago removing all rgb stuff from xorg. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/dda10c9066a660b647384179f82e1da8e063264f
It looks like rgb.txt hasn't really been used by the X server since this commit: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/8987b2c1efc9a4667e278e6ba411772ba2a4a4e6 From the commit message: "Replace rgb text file loading with static rgb color table." I think we could remove it and see if anyone reports any problems.

Thanks! I've dropped it from -9999. I'll drop it from a non-live ebuild the next time we have a version or revision bump.
