The ebuilds are actually simple now, compared to the monolithic
xorg-6.7/6.8 ebuilds, because a lot of the stuff is module-specific and
therefore is only included in a couple of the ebuilds, so they all don't
occur in the same ebuild as they did pre-modular!  Never-the-less, I can
certainly see your point! =8^)

xorg-server and a couple of the other modules are in fact in my overlay
(the cited filterflags example applying to -fweb, which is filtered for
everyone in xorg-server, altho the issue apparently doesn't affect amd64
at all based on my experience and those of others when I asked on this
list some months ago), but I make only a couple very specific
modifications to them, and I was /very/ glad to see xorg go modular, so I
didn't have to track all the /other/ changes every release and figure out
if they affected the couple of changes I was making or not.

I think you are correct.
