It's too close to call at the moment, since the required work hasn't
been finished yet.

Most of the people who need newer versions of XFree86 only need it for
support for their graphics card, and all that's necessary for this is to
upgrade just the xserver-xfree86 package. Since there's no need to
upgrade the whole of XFree86 it's quite simple to use a newer server
even if you're running a distribution that doesn't include it.
