Yes I had the same thought, but decided for the practical route. On the
other hand if we consider interface::3d implies interface::graphical
everything is consistent.

I have used it in the past for searching. But iirc this was for games
(or to test my graphic card ;). However there are other packages that
benefit from 3d: blender and vrml-viewers come to my mind, were at least
part of the interface is 3D.
In conclusion I propose:
* Change description of interface::x11 to "Graphical" (one day we
should have a way to rename tags, or at least to provide
aliases)
* drop x11::application: _Enrico_ is there a way to auto merge the
packages from x11::application into interface::x11?
* keep interface::3d
Best regards
