I argue for leaving it as is. We indeed have had this discussion before,
and the conclusion was that since there are lots of ways to use X11 apps
without having xfree86-rootless installed, we should not move "Provides:
x11" to xfree86-rootless. For example, you can run these apps remotely on
a machine that does have an Xserver installed, or you can run them in
Xvnc/Vncviewer, or you can run them in oroborus X (which has it's own
XDarwin bundled in). Why force people to install xfree86-rootless if they
don't really need to?
Why not have a ouroborusx dummy package that provides X11 for those people running OuroborosX? I think it's better for people who may not be X11 gurus to have a default that leaves them with what they expect - a system able to run package N when they do fink install N.
