XFree86 cares more about being a useable X server on a wide range of platforms than on playing well with a few Linux-specific hacks. The real problem is that you have a mix of ideologies in the Linux kernel, each struggling for supremacy. Come back to us when you know who the winner is. At that time I'm sure you'll feel free to re-write history and claim that we should have been doing things that way all along.
