Qubes-builderv2 depends upon unhosted xorg-server-21.1.21

Hi, all,
I was trying to build Qubes rc4.3, when I came across a chilling error for the state of the internet: x.org has no hosted files, none available to satisfy the need for Qubes Builder to retrieve xorg-server.

https://www.x.org/archive/individual/

Luckily, I found what I had expected–a gitlab using Anubis.techaro.lol/ on Making sure you're not a bot! from the main page of x.org. (why give up hosting, xorg, when you can just use a bot blocker like Anubis? I’m glad there may be other recourse)

I’ll just change the configuration of my build.yml, but I couldn’t find this in a quick search of the Qubes forums. I don’t see any releases here at: Making sure you're not a bot! so where might I go to get the dependency?

So not only did I learn that X got forked into XLibre , xserver/HISTORY.md at master · X11Libre/xserver · GitHub , it means I still need an answer on how to get 21.1.21 for Qubes RC4.3. I’m going to review the forums and see if anyone else mentioned this.

The mirrors are dying and I dont think any left hold this version.
