As an aside, perhaps we should remove '-7.7' from that section title.
It came from the xorg-version, I've reduced it to 7.

Shurely not? Instead, keep that xorg-version ENTITY with the accurate
version ('7.7'/&c); and just do a manual-override ('7') in the relevant
page titles/&c; or define a related xorg-version-main ENTITY ('7')
or similar and use that for the/any overrides?
All the xorg apps/packages have different version numbers. AFAICR, Xorg
has not released an updated group of packages with a group designation
(i.e. 7.7) in over 10 years. I really don't see a need to keep the
entity xorg-version at all.
Right now the Xorg into says:
The distribution of Xorg is given a release number by the developers, in
this case Xorg-7.7, and is referred to as the "katamari" by the upstream
developers.
but I don't think this is true any more.
