I think the cost of moving window managers out of /etc/X11 far outweight the benefit. However the same rationale about moving programs out of /usr/bin/X11, /usr/lib/X11, etc. apply here. If one day we move to X12, /etc/X11 will probably have to go. I do not think e.g. fvwm has a special relationship with X11 that warrant putting its configuration file in /etc/X11 instead of /etc/fvwm.
