/usr/X11* is there for historic reasons - nothing more. I'm sure there are
thousands of applications that are hard-coded to use /usr/X11R6/*, which
changing this would break everything.
Otherwise, it would be integrated into the standard naming scheme.
Btw, how is Berlin going? Still using CORBA for strings? <snicker, grin>
Do they have a complete widget set yet? Are any useful applications using it
yet?
