A few are open source - for instance, I could point you to the sources for

Solaris and declared the upstream sources unmaintained and suggested that
distros remove them.
Thanks for insights. This caused I looked closer at x11/network/rstart
which is still required by mate_install and I noticed it is deprecated
too, so I created https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/15571 .
I don't know why it ever would have depended on rstart - an obscure method
to start X apps remotely in the days before ssh, but it shouldn't any more.

is the advice I gave distros last year on unmaintained packages from X.Org.
