As 7.1 is a pure katamari, Xlib/XCB needs to be *released* in some form
before it can become a part of 7.1.

Stability concerns are purely about Xlib atop XCB; I think its OK if the
underlying XCB bits are less than perfect. But, of course the XCB ABI
needs to be stable, and if that means splitting out a bunch of
extensions, then that needs to be done first.

Missing 7.1 won't be terrible as we can (and should) release Xlib
separately when it's ready.
