Those both seem reasonable. If this gets committed I'll update the
wiki and see what would need to be done for release.sh.

I was just thinking that once 7.6 was released that the file would get
copied to xorg-7.7.modules and it would just keep getting updated
until the next katamari. Although, I would understand keeping the
version number out of there since it could imply a katamari that no
one's actually planned for. You could call it xorg-next or something.
