Sure, that's cool.  I should probably mention that our RPM CVS, the CVS 
repository that we use for maintaining the RPM spec files and patches, 
is now publicly available at http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com.  You can 
check out the xorg-x11 package and poke around and there is also a 
ViewCVS setup so you can go there to investigate the history of the 
packages.

Yes, ideally we would have sent them all upstream, but we didn't get 
through all of them this time.  It is still the goal to move as much as 
possible upstream so everybody can benefit from the fixes and we don't 
have to drag it around in the RPM.
