As you say, we're bumping versions of tons of packages all the time,
without notifying users each time (it would be horrible), so why should
we do it specifically for the X.org server ? Especially when the user
has chosen to use the "tip" (1.17) and we're just updating to the more
recent "tip".

If we were to remove the 1.14 version, which is kept so far only for
compatibility with old NVidia X.org drivers, then maybe we should do
legacy handling (and even I'm not sure, because if we are to remove
this version, it means that we would have upgraded the NVidia drivers
to a version that works fine with a more recent X.org server).

Too much legacy handling is not good IMO.
