Comment (by mojca@…):

 While I'm ready to patch at any time - what about the rule that "updates
 are supposed to run smoothly for a year after the change"?

 Gnuplot introduced the option +x11 in August 2012 (r96459). If there is
 anyone who installed gnuplot with +no_x11 back in July 2012, the update
 won't go as expected.

 While this is hardly a problem for gnuplot (it's been 10 months now which
 is almost a year): aren't there going to be problems in other packages if
 an option is simply removed without any grace period?
