Now, this is not a fair example! He's working ahead! :-) Not that I'm
doubting the ammount of xorg questions are high, just being silly.
There are many other examples to choose from.
In my opinion, we cannot solely count on Xorg7.x until there isn't
a support issue every day. The instructions are not yet where they
need to be to support Xorg7 as the only X package.
I'm working on that, but agree with your opinion above. Right now,
nothing should be done with xorg-6.9.
As I asked earlier, and is the most pressing questions, what are
we going to do with Xorg6.9 when 7.1 comes out which has a
different code base?
I'm even thinking that if XFree must go because nobody will offer
to install it as their primary X package, and continue to monitor
issues with it (which is a perfectly legitimate reason to let it
go), that keeping Xorg6.9 in the book is something we must
consider.
Personally, I'm not prepared to let either one go just yet. Xorg-7.1 is
a new release, and will not be the same as the previously planned 6.9.x
maintenance release. I don't know anything about the timeframe for the
maintenance releases...anyone heard anything on them yet?
