Fine; I just made them "shorter" for asthetic reasons and for consistency.

(As an aside; I'm unconvinced that it's worth the hassle of maintaining
the second column in the set lists; we've been promised syspkgs
(the consumer of that column) for a long time now ... )

The in-tree Xorg infrastructure hasn't been around long enough for
said files to have been made obsolete.  It was apparent to me that
they were just cut&paste & s/X11R6/X11R7/.   As such, we didn't need
them.
