Well maybe instead of a symlink something that displays some kind of help for those expecting to use it.
I could understand sax2 removal if xorg.conf-free would actually work, but based upon the development of recent iterations of Xorg and reading the fedora-devel and freedesktop xorg lists for more than the past year, I am highly skeptical that it will actually work reliably for everyone before 11.3 is released. Examples that come to mind:
1-broken or missing EDID/DDC (xorg.conf workarounds: PreferredMode, DisplaySize)
2-simultaneous multiple display configuration
3-native display mode is not a VESA mode (e.g. 1440x900) and the x11failsafe 1024x768 (or worse) fallback is inexplicably using a 75 VertRefresh for a display that supports only 60, putting the display into sleep mode
4-user wants to globally fudge DPI and/or DisplaySize to suit taste
5-display orientation (can any display tell X when it is being used rotated 90 degrees?)
6-user wants to prevent dynamics (lock everything down regardless)
I simply don't expect anything to work better than sax2 for edge cases so soon, and so I think it premature to say "first thing to be removed from the install" for 11.3. Better to say it will be removed when proven _completely_ obsolete and that that state is hoped to be reached for release X.X.
A couple of other scenario's that exist as well that need a xorg.conf 1) special setups such as SLi, crossfire 2) multi card setups of different makes 3) GPGPU computing that requires a xorg to detect more then the primary card in the system.
