Unfortunatly not. I've not received more information about the windows
update. Maybe you can provide more information.

We changed the code base from xfree86 to xorg because it was easier for us
to incorporate changes into the xorg code than into the xfree86 codebase.
This was prativly not a big change since our first xorg release was very
close to the xfree 4.4 release. The old packages were removed and are now
only available as empty packages in ZZZRemoved to provide a clean update.
