While I don't really mind if wxGTK and wxX11 get removed, there really is no 
necessity to do so IMHO. They are separate upstreams with separate release 
schedules (which came in handy already once in the past). If the maintainers 
still feel like maintaining them and want to provide users the option to pick, 
why not? For avoiding conflicts in dependency management? On slackware?
