Does it needs to be mentioned? portupgrade is able to handle it  
without *special* instructions in UPDATING.

Don't know.

Do you ask because it has a zero version number, or because you know  
about instabilities?

A requirement for the linux-realplayer.

Needed by the linux stuff, we fetch binary RPMs and install the files in them.

Nothing, except that linux programs like realplayer can't use it.

But you need the linux ones to be able to use linux programs which  
want to use X11.
