There's this whole "testing" thing :-) xorg seems to have an amazing ability to introduce regressions, especially in edge cases/older hardware. Each of the last N updates has been preceded by a lot of staging/testing, and even so, created a lot of work to clean everything up. So, in theory, it's easy, but in practice, it requires someone(s) with a lot of time and dedication. We certainly need one or more such people right now! mcl
