I did it more for stylistic reasons.

I'm not sure what you mean... I thought it was fairly obvious from the commit message.

$ echo "#include <X11/extensions/xf86bigfstr.h>" | gcc -E - -o /dev/null 
In file included from <stdin>:1:
./xf86bigfstr.h:1:2: warning: #warning "xf86bigfstr.h is obsolete and may be removed in the future."
./xf86bigfstr.h:2:2: warning: #warning "include <X11/extensions/xf86bigfproto.h> for the protocol defines."
