There are probably a few more people than just myself who don't
have the disk space for both X11R7 and X11R6. I am going thru
the painful process of rebuilding packages as I type this.

Wouldn't people new to NetBSD have issues with packages pointing
to X11R6? X11R6 doesn't come with the NetBSD 5.0 install.

All said and done, NetBSD 5.0 is definitely worth the rebuild of
the packages. Kudos to the developers!
