Subject: [PATCH] Using /etc/X11 for configuration is allowed, not should
Expand the list of applications that may use /etc/X11 for configuration
files to include session managers, but change this section to may from
should. There doesn't appear to be a reason to encourage this going
forward. Reword the section for more direct phrasing.
