7 xorg-x11 is just a meta-build now with modular X, and nothing in the
8 tree is really supposed to depend on it. Packages are supposed to
9 depend on those parts of x.org that they really use. So unmerging
10 xorg-x11-7.0-r1 will not break anything:

12 carcharias rjf # equery files xorg-x11
13 [ Searching for packages matching xorg-x11... ]
14 * Contents of x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1:
15 /etc
16 /etc/X11
17 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
18 /usr
19 /usr/X11R6 -> ../usr
