I agree this is going to be bad at first but those kind of improvements
always cause some problems for a later gain. Dropping things that ought to
be in BSP layers is a good thing but only after the "fix other layers" time
window.

I think this is worth it however it might be better to instead port the
needed changes to OE-Core and ask other layers to adopt x11-common allowing
us to remove this later on. This makes the change easier and avoid some
problems for users IMO.
