Why is this? I think it's the job of the "release platform" as a whole
to specify which package versions it contains, and not the job of each
package within that release.

If there's an interim release of one of these packages, then no further
changes, they'll have to rename the same tarball (essentially
re-releasing it) to add the X11RX to the name for the following X.Org
release?

Thanks for the clarification,
Donnie
