The big piece that gets removed in diet is the Xlocale functionality -
this is what brings the size and the compatibility problems.

libX11 as it stands now is actually smaller than the old libX11-trim,
as some optional features in libX11 (Xcms, BigFont) are disabled by
default (packageconfig to turn them back on).

The important distinction is that libX11 is (practically) unpatched,
where as -diet is chopped up.
