The xfs (X Font Server) SMF service manifest was previously installed
whenever X was installed, even when the xfs service wasn't, so trying
to connect to it would generate errors. It was moved to the package
containing the xfs server, which isn't installed by default and which
few people add, since they're not trying to serve old-fashioned X
terminals or other similar remote environments without local fonts.
On upgrade, SMF now sees the service manifiest is removed but somehow
seems to not be cleaning up properly.
