Why has xlibs been merged into xlibs-data? In X.org, there are currently 2 XKB packages, xkbdata and xkeyboard-config, the latter will replace the former in the future. This transition will be harder with this merge. Please note also that some packages depend on XKB data. For instance, Anton Zinoviev wrote a nice program to use XKB layouts to replace console layouts. Of course, this program could be useful without X. If XKB data are shipped in xlibs-data, he will provide his own copy of XKB files in his package to not depend on a large package, which is not optimal.
