That might add confusion for ports that are still have hidden dependencies on /usr/X11R6, and also won't work at all if the decision is made to keep the xorg/XFree bits in that directory. > I think the argument for this change is that the use of X11BASE is > pretty much random so it's no longer serving any useful purpose and the > lack of consistency is a minor negative since you never know where an X > related port will end up without reading the Makefile. In my mind that's a good argument for making and enforcing consistent policies, not for changing the defaults. But reasonable minds can differ on this issue. Like I said, my mind is not made up yet one way or another, but I have yet to see a very good reason for making the change.
