As Xenocara follows the same goals than our packaging guidelines in stability and security concerns, we have decided to remove X.Org and use Xenocara as our default provider of display server for the X Window System. The decision means that the Milky Way v0.2 will be the last version supporting X.Org.

Xenocara provides a framework to host OpenBSD modifications and to automate the build of the modular X.Org components , including 3rd party packages and some software maintained by OpenBSD developers .

It includes a customised X.Org X server that utilises a dedicated _x11 user by default to drop privileges and perform privilege separation in accordance to OpenBSD's least privilege policy . Furthermore, Xenocara includes several other projects, such as cwm, a stacking window manager for the X Window System .
