The Raspberry Pi world recently made the switch.  They claim better
performance on their "big" boards (the Pi4 and Pi5), but retain X for their
earlier models.

Which, on the face of it, is odd, since you would think you'd care the most
about performance on the lesser boards.  No, I'm not looking for an
explanation of this.
