I don't dislike x11-proto, x11-headers is just a little more descriptive |
| 18 |
from the perspective of an ignorant user. More informed users know that |
| 19 |
X is the actual protocol, so x11-proto could read to them as "protocol |
| 20 |
protocols", or "protocols of a protocol". Besides, we have category |
| 21 |
metadata anyway. |
