Just for the record

It just add FLAVOR to 7-9 ports (maybe it could touch around 20 ports in
extreme case). Mostly the reason of add FLAVOR is not create similar ports with
a different x server and avoid a masive remove packages when am user wants to
use Plasma/KDE with Xlibre for example. We have around 35k in our ports tree. I
don't see like changing between 7-9 ports is unmaintainable.

The only issue with adopt DEFAULT_VERSIONS is xlibre doesn't cover/replace all
xorg components. It covers xserver and some drivers (no app, data, doc, font,
lib  and util). I think DEFAULT_VERSIONS is not viable right now. Maybe in the
future. It is easier, for example, install lxqt+xlibre meta ports to have a
desktop running without issues. The same could be with KDE/plasma if FLAVORS
are added to kde, plasma6-plasma, plasma6-plasma-desktop. (pkg install
xlibre-kde).
