[Xquartz-dev] Check for X11 Updates option sometimes greyed out

Sorry to dig up a semi-old thread... Will X11 automatically update and  
install (if relevant feature is enabled) to the latest available X11  
release, even if that makes it very difficult or impossible to  
downgrade to the previous version?

I ask this question as the environment in which I work relies upon  
testing each version before "blessing" it for production use.  If we  
have a problem, we may need to revert to a previous version.

Thank you in advance.
