That's great news!  Thanks

But this needs to go into NEWS.Debian.  In fact I looked there to see if
any such changes were to be expected in this version, since I knew
you've mentioned this before as the long-term development direction.

Anyway, how about a transitional warning message if you detect any
x11_options environment variable?  I can produce a patch if you want.
It should be trivial.
