I was just developing with headless gem [0] in a new open data project [1] (shameless plug) and I found this "issue".

For the record, I come from a hardcore Linux background (no Windows in my home ;)

Nicely handled by Apple, instead of permanently remove it and leave no trace, they shipped a "xstub" binary, symlinked all the binaries in /usr/X11/bin to it and make it show a clear way to install XQuartz.

IMHO, it is not a big deal, as some already pointed.
