 * A question - would it be desirable for X to be installed, by default,
 * somewhere *else*, and just symlinked into /usr?  Should it go in 
 * /usr/local, so that an experienced admin can assign a separate 
 * filesystem for this?

Yes.

Actually, if you can do something like "if /usr/local is a separate
filesystem from /usr or a symlink to a directory in a separate
filesystem from /usr, then make /usr/X11R6 a symlink into
/usr/local/X11R6", that will be great, but that's probably asking too
much. :)
