The instructions tell you that if you are upgrading from the previous
monolithic X11R6.9, then for each of the xorg-x11-* packages you already
have installed, setup.exe will select the indicated packages
automatically when upgrading.

They are hidden unless you select "Show Obsolete Packages" in setup.exe,
because they are obsolete.  setup.exe will do the right thing anyway.
