It can't be X11R7.5, because that doesn't exist yet, and won't in time.
(X.Org had tentatively planned on an April release, but we missed that
 target and haven't started the release cycle yet.)

2009.06 will be based on the Nevada build 111 tree - that's mostly around
X11R7.4-ish, but since we update to individual module releases as
needed instead of only updating to full X Window System rollups, it's
not an exact match to the X11R7.4 module/version list.

For instance, X11R7.4 included Xorg server 1.5.0 - but we've upgraded
to 1.5.3 for bug fixes.   (1.6.0 came out past our feature freeze and
we were too busy fixing the 1.5.3 integration issues to have a 1.6 beta
integrated in time.)

I can provide the full list of modules & versions we're shipping if it
helps.
