You do know that Adam is one of the core X server maintainers, right?
If he says you're wrong, then I believe him and you should too. (Though
the mail he points to says you're only half wrong - yes it is disabled by
default today, but no, we've not announced any plans to make it completely
go away.)

The point here is that today it is being *disabled* and in the future it is
completely *going away.* Anyone care to argue with that? I'd love to be wrong
about it.

Hello,
I have just discovered, through the [email protected] mailing
list, that Xorg deprecated some software component (IGLX?) necessary for
remote OpenGL viewing.
As I just said:

Another awkward thing about this, I suppose, is that on OSX the X server
is started implicitly on demand and there's no reasonable way to configure
things like command line options. And, that there's no direct rendering
support to be had on OSX. So we could probably reasonably change those
defaults for that platform, since the opportunity for privilege escalation
is lower as X11.app runs unprivileged.
