I presume that by "fix" you mean "remove X11R6 related stuff."
Yes.
My vote (as
someone deeply interested in /etc and especially rc.d related issues) would
be that it be changed in 7-current soonish, and not changed in RELENG_6 at
all. Given that by default there will be /usr/X11R6 symlinks for the
foreseeable future, I don't see any harm in leaving the status quo as is in
RELENG_6, and I see potential POLA violations if we don't.
There are POLA violations whatever is done:
If X11R6 references are removed then anyone who hasn't upgraded to xorg
7.2 will lose any X-related startup/libs/manpages/...
If you upgrade to xorg 7.2 but don't cleanup the /etc files then rc.d
and periodic scripts are processe twice. (I was getting warned about
ports with security problems twice).
I don't have the X11R6 symlink, so that one hadn't bitten me yet. That
should be fixed in rc.subr in find_local_scripts_new() so that it
doesn't add a script to the list that's already there. That's pretty
easily done, and could/should be MFC'ed.
