~/.xinitrc will be used if present, otherwise /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is used.
/opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc sources all the executable scripts in /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
One of the scripts (near the end, just before the wm execs) of /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d sources all the executable scripts in ~/.xinitrc.d

Right, it would prevent you from inheriting global updates.

mkdir ~/.xinitrc.d
nano -w ~/.xinitrc.d/50-mystuff.sh
chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc.d/50-mystuff.sh
