Yep. Long ago it was X11R5, before that X11R4. And switching the default
dir to /usr/X11R7/ won't hurt neither less or more
(backwards-compatibility can be guranteed via softlink from /usr/X11R6
--> /usr/X11R7/ ...) ... :)

BTW: Since a while Solaris has a link /usr/X/ which points to the
currently installed version of X11... maybe the same should be done for
the Xorg tree and then all version-independent paths should go through
/usr/X/ (or /usr/X11/) instead of /usr/X11R(6|7)/ ...
