We have two choices: * Move those apps outside of package/x11r7, so that package/x11r7 only contains packages that are part of official X11R7 releases. But we already have things like the x86-input-tslib package that is in package/x11r7, but is in fact not a X.org project at all. * Add additional exceptions for those applications in the xorg-release script, just to make the output of this script more meaningful. I also feel like we have a lot of those old xapp_ and that not many of them are actually useful beyond a good old xeyes to test that your X.org server runs and that the mouse is working, and possibly a few tools like xapp_xev and stuff like that. But really, who cares about xman, xmh, xbiff, xcalc and similar things?
