I don't really understand how this statement applies to the change suggested?
It is intended for the reviewer as all the entries appear old and not very
useful, but I have no idea what else might be better to replace the later ones!

Thanks, but:
This is deliberately the major release number.

This is wrong.
R7.7 is the X11 rollup release number (informally called a "katamari"),
inherited from the days when X11 was distributed as a monolithic source tree.
Not very useful any more for any one for any reason - even then it was only
really a binary flag for current or outdated X releases, especially for
commercial Unixen.
This is not the libX11 version number.

If I was going to change this, I'd probably just remove it all, since X11
development velocity is slow enough these days that it doesn't really
communicate much useful information.
As suggested at the top, maybe just a link to the Cygwin-X FAQ?
I just notice ancient dates and think that is no longer current, informative, or
useful - it needs changed to something more current, informative, and useful.
That keeps me posting patches, and ITAs if I need or use a package! ;^>
