Yes, probably "Merging X11BASE to LOCALBASE" is not very good subject after all, seemingly what you are talking about is merely moving x.org 7.x bits and pieces from X11BASE into LOCALBASE, which should be fine. :) You should have mentioned that merging those two is a long term goal and it's not going to happen overnight, since that's what my first impression from the thread was. -Maxim
