So most people don't even have one (I certainly > don't), and wouldn't know how to create one in the first place. Most people don't know how to bisect the kernel, either. :) xorg.conf hasn't at all been deprecated, beyond autoconf and xorg.conf.d. The goal was to ensure that no-one needed an xorg.conf _by default_, which I can quite safely say we've since achieved, but xorg.conf(.d) remains as the way to tell the server your non-default requirements. Anyway, badly OT here, so.
