This seems inconvenient.

Is there a list to know what to download?

Is the expected way to just mirror all of X11R7.0 and then download all of 
X11R7.1 and end up downloading several downloads twice (but different 
versions)? And then manually clean up?

What about when X11R7.2 is released? Do we download all three and get 
duplicates again? And X11R7.3?

For me and most of the Xorg developers, this is probably not a problem as 
they already have the source and they don't even build the entire Xorg X11 
(very often).

What about using symlinks for the tarballs for now?
