I see them removing built in support for X11 the same as them not bundling java. There probably isn't the corporate will to keep up to date on these packages and it is better to have groups that will keep them update maintaining them.
While that seems unlikely , there is definitely a strong constituent of people who would applaud it as a "bold and forward thinking move", "lol, who uses email anymore?"
