I don't think there are any good reasons not to have them.  I am
guessing it's just lack of round tuits.

It's not entirely clear which versions should exist.   I gather there
was some incompatable ABI change in X somehow in either 5 or 6.

So that's libraries that allow one to run binaries compiled under 6.1 on
netbsd-7?

If you could drop it in wip or send a link, that would be a next logical step.
