That's interesting, I did not know that. I was digging through the
packages list for edgy
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
and it lists x11-common (which replaces xorg-common) as
x11-common_7.0.0-0ubuntu45_i386.deb

So for the moment it seems edgy is at 7.0, which does not mean 7.1 is
not being planned on, of course, but I couldn't find a list of version
numbers for edgy. It's perhaps a little to early for that, what with
dapper released a week ago. Let's give the devs some vacation :)
