You are correct that I am maintaining everything in X.Org/, but X.Org is
not a "package"; it is ~200 completely separate source packages that
could easily maintained by more than one person.

libXft* is now under X.Org/; libXft1 is OBSOLETE.

Yes.

X-start-menu-icons is mine also; X-startup-scripts is OBSOLETE.  I think
