+# ---- X11 macros.This is all fine and dandy but most apps *SHOULDN'T* be using
+%_Xprefix /usr/X11R6
+%_Xbindir %{_Xprefix}/bin
+%_Xdatadir %{_Xprefix}/share
+%_Xlibdir %{_Xprefix}/lib
+%_Xincludedir %{_Xprefix}/include
+%_Xinfodir %{_Xprefix}/info
+%_Xmandir %{_Xprefix}/man
/usr/X11R6. It's an optional hierarchy in FHS. And is reserved for the
X Windows System and "related" files. I guess it depends upon your
definition of related how you interpret that. I don't think apps that
are X apps really should be considered simply related because they are X
apps. WM's I'm not sure of.
At any rate my question is... does it encourage people to put things in
these paths that we probably ought to be trying to avoid if we create a
bunch of X path macros?

but maybe we should encourage people not to use it unless they *really* need it or something..?
