I was thinking about this and discussing it in the pub with some people and came to the following question: why do we mind if some binaries are in /usr/bin/X11 and some in /usr/bin, halfway through the transition ? Ie, why not just keep /usr/bin/X11 around until it vanishes ? There's no need for it to be a symlink; you just keep both directories on the path.
