Its XFree86 3.x and 4.3, so no licensing issues involved here.

This assumption is simply wrong (as Brian already mentioned in his 
answer) and besides that, even if one consideres XFree86 'old', its a 
mature X implementation that supports a wide range of devices and has 
been widely tested, and can therefore be considered kinda 'stable', 
whereas I heard rumors that the upcoming release of Xorg has a lot 
stability and performance issues _because_ of this (useless) 'up to 
date' features.
