Currently, skia doesn't even build on x86 (and their upstream has, uh,
portability pretty low on their list).

I believe that's the wrong question to ask - there's always going to
be a fringe use case where Xrender is not (easily) available. Old, or

So either we suck it up, deprecate the feature, give it some time &
remove it - or we don't if it's ~easy to retain. ;)
