Named cursors were not my first choice. There was some arguing when
it was proposed. I personally prefer a set enums, which matches what
common toolkits use:

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qt.html#CursorShape-enum
http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/spec3/node28.html#SECTION000513000000000000000
But you can't kill named cursor support unless you replace it with
equivalent enums.
You absolutely can. An existence proof is Wayland, which has no such
support.
We might *want* to support named cursors, because we think it'll make
it more likely that clients will use the right cursor themes etc, but
even here there doesn't need to be server support - it can be
implemented in the client library.
