And we will release woody with 4.1.0 while 4.3.0 is released, isn't it, given XFree86 6 month release cycle, this makes us have 1 year old X packages or a outdated woody before it is even released. That said, this is no critic against Branden, i understand its reasons, and much prefer a working 4.1.0 than a buggy 4.2.0 in woody. But then i am using my own built X server anyway, so ...
