When I try that, I then see the following warning:

  "Warning! Unmet Dependencies Found"

Here are the first few:

,----
| font-bitstream-dpi75
|   required by xorg-x11-fnts
| 
| font-encodings
|   required by xorg-x11-fenc
| 
| hicolor-icon-theme
|   required by gnome-icon-theme
| 
| libcairo-devel
|   required by lipango1.0-devel
| 
| libcairo2
|   required by ligs8, pango1.0, python-cairo
`----

There are many more concerning fonts, GTK, and even xorg-11-xwin. If I'm
asking for all X-related packages to be removed, why would I want to
retain a package like xorg-x11-xwin and satisfy its dependency on
xorg-server?
