Yea, true, it lives in /var/X11R6/bin. However if this isn't first
in the search path the symlink will become useless if we have a binary.
Although many people don't seem to come across the binary very often
- many don't even seem to realize that you can start the server by just
executing the binary - it should have a name that points to the organization
that ships the server. Therefore there doesn't seem to be anything better
than Xorg.
