The reason for wanting to hide it is to stop it from cluttering the
package list in setup.exe. If I use category: X11, then e.g. libXfixes
will be right next to libXfixes3 and libXfixes-devel in both by-category
and by-alphabet sorting modes. And frankly I don't want to answer the
inevitable questions of "does anybody know why setup.exe is broken? I
installed libXfixes, but I still get an error from such-and-such that
cygXfixes-3.dll is missing." :-)

There's space there for *all* of release plus 110MB for modular X11?
