ISTM ultimately if we're going to set X11BASE to LOCALBASE then it really should come out of /etc/defaults/rc.conf but as you point out, the wholesale removal is premature until we merge and before 6.3-R hits the street. My sh script fu isn't up to getting it out the door before the weekend which should be enough time to meet a Monday UTC merge. Unless someone else fixes this before Sunday as you've recommended I'll put it on a todo list for then and take another pass stripping dupes with realpath. At the very least it needs to be disclosed, maybe in UPDATING if none of the patches are acceptable, as at least a few common ports fail in perplexing, subtle ways (Bernstein's supervise stuff for one (svscan), samba for another)
