Does anybody even use this feature anymore?

It is another pet beef, though. Most Linux desktop distributions disable the
TCP connections to the X server anyway so the features of '-X' are rendered
obsolete.

There are naturally good reasons for this: if audio people are concerned about
system security aspects of RT_PRIO and SCHED_FIFO/RR then the TCP access
issues are an even greater concern. Based on the fact that a generation of
users don't see the point, windows doesn't do it, iOS doesn't do it then there is
not a lot of point that Linux carry the flag for a solution to a problem that 
people don't have anymore.
