Right - it depends on unstable internal interfaces of the Xorg server, so if
you wanted to keep providing it, you would need to take on the work of porting
it to each new version yourself since we're not doing that any more.

Fortunately, the only effect this should have on anyone who is not using a
multi-level trusted desktop (of which the Trusted Extensions version of
GNOME 2.30 was the last produced) is that they'll no longer be confused by
"missing extension module xtsol" messages in the Xorg log files that don't
actually affect them beyond causing confusion.
