Regardless of what the standard becomes I will continue to use /usr/X11. I've had absolutely no problems with compiling anything against it, and it keeps my system far tidier than it would be if I put it in /usr. Plus the fact that I can test a version of X by putting it in /usr/X11, and then just wipe out /usr/X11 when I'm done with it; it's simple, clean, and much more preferable to myself. As far as X goes I say that we support alternate prefixes since it's no hassle to do so. But if Gnome and KDE are a major hassle then let's make our lives easier and drop support for it. Personally I hate putting anything in /opt as I feel that the root system should remain fairly static.
