What do you mean with this "possible" and "necessary"? If we really
want it, it shouldn't be possible to move everything out of /usr/X11R6
(including XFree86 itself). Is this your intension?
Or do you mean, that XFree86 itself should stay (alone) in /usr/X11R6?
While all applications should be moved out of /usr/X11R6 into /usr?
And what about the window managers? Shouldn't they be allowed to be
placed in /usr/X11R6, because their config files are /etc/X11?
IMHO you should clarify the exception from the rule, that everything
should be moved out of /usr/X11R6. Except this, I begin to like your
proposal...
