I don't think the .source or .d groups are a good idea, but an .X11
group could be very useful for the following reasons:
1 - the X11-volume is sufficiently high to warrant a new group
2 - there are enough people who would want to read one group and not both
(as opposed to the .source and .d groups ... how many people do you
reall think would read just 1 and not the other? Surely not enough to
warrant a split...)
3 - the group is defined well enough that crossposting could be kept to a
minimum
