Yes but you can't be sure, and anyway it's not very hard to support
both, so…

Or should this directory be renamed into xcb-util/wmhints or xcb-util/icccm_ewmh or similar? Would it be better to create xcb-util/ewmh directory next to the xcb-util/icccm? This might lead to quasi similar code to two places though.

I agree, EWMH stuff should not be in icccm.

Extension. Read full EWMH specs and you'll see they refers to ICCCM for
some stuff (like window hints, etc).

I don't think so.
I really like to drop such old broken standards, but well, it's gonna be
hard. ;-)
