Difference of opinion.

Some people would strongly prefer only X11 proper to go under
/usr/X11R6 and everything else under /usr/local.  Some other people
equally strongly prefer X11 programs in general (loosely defined)
to go under /usr/X11R6.

Some people of the latter faction are high enough in the food chain
that you can't just override them.
