I don't really understand how this statement applies to the change 
suggested?

Thanks, but:

This is deliberately the major release number.

This is wrong.

R7.7 is the X11 rollup release number (informally called a "katamari"), 
inherited from the days when X11 was distributed as a monolithic source 
tree.

This is not the libX11 version number.

If I was going to change this, I'd probably just remove it all, since 
X11 development velocity is slow enough these days that it doesn't 
really communicate much useful information.
