Doesn't even exist *by default*. This is perfectly normal for
configuration files in many applications, it's a relatively common
system to have the file not exist by default and only need to be created
manually or automatically if a default setting is required to be
changed.

This doesn't make xorg.conf any less 'current' or 'valid'. It's still
entirely supported by the X.org project and the only recommended /
supported / possible way to change certain configurations. The only
change from 'olden days' is that X is expected and configured to work
without it being present by default, as long as you don't want to change
any default settings.

I think people over-emphasize the scope of this change. It's only
intended to be as I described above. xorg.conf is not at present nor is
it intended to become entirely obsolete.
