It was used on mips at mdv due to some incompatible xorg. On some loongson 2e systems, we had to use a patched server and using this patch on other systems would break them. Don't ask details, all I can say it that adding a hack to xorg was the only way to get it to work. I'm not sure that this hack would still work nowadays, unfortunately. So, when we got this annoying trouble, in order to be able to tell which xorg rpms to choose during installation, we got the advice to add a new level and add : CAT_X 6 TYPE"mips_lemote" x11-server-lm2e x11-server-lm2e-common 6 TYPE"mips_ict" x11-server x11-server-common to the rpmsrate.
