I've worked a little bit more on this issue.
I guess more people should get moving on this.
A few questions:
\$XFree86: CVS tags in installed files 629 Leave alone or delete CVS tags Yes
\$XFree86\$ Broken CVS tags 182 Leave alone or delete CVS tags Yes
Are we sure we need to change CVS tags? They only suggest that these files
where at one time in the XFree86 CVS.
include/freetype2/freetype XFree86 Freetype headers 6 Eliminate XFree86-specific FreeType Delete
Are you referring to ftxf86.h? Yes, I think the freetype project
come up with a more generic name. The function already has a generic
name.
lib/X11/config All of the config files 227 I don't know. Yes
These contain a lot of vendor specific names as they are used to build
the DDX of that specific vendor. I don't see why the XFree86 rules
should be removed from there. If they aren't used they aren't used.
We also need to think what to do about the version number.
This isn't as trivial as it sounds as some files have version
specific build paths. This needs to be investigated and is
error prone!
Also I would like to invite those who advocate this to step
forward and get going on this. Since we are quite late in the
release cycle I would like to see people reviewing the code
changes that go in. For every change we therefore should have
at least two people: one who does the change and one who looks
over the code. Sorry, this is not mistrust, we just need to
make sure we don't introduce additional problems.
OK, here is what I've done:
Done:
XFree86 Font Renderer XFree86 driver identifiers 42 Can we change this and retain ABI? Accept either, use new
XFree86 Video [Dd]river XFree86 driver identifiers 56 Can we change this and retain ABI? Accept either, use new

bin/xf86cfg Lots of stuff 13 Investigate Yes
bin/xf86config Lots of stuff 13 Investigate Yes
bin/scanpci Vendor 1 Change? Yes
bin/gtf Names format for video mode 1 Leave alone, perhaps ammend with new project name yes
