I did some build testing. Enabling Xcms comes at a cost of ~88K (x86-64 target, as I'm currently building for the NUC), which is a 7% increase. Considering that it's possible to use Xcms without knowing it (as Jonathan discovered, by using fancy colour names), the size increase isn't massive, the existence of both a PACKAGECONFIG to turn it off again *and* and libx11-diet that's even smaller than libx11, I think we should enable it by default. People who know they don't use Xcms and care about the ~80K can set this in a distro config or switch to libx11-diet if space really is that important.
