I'm not sure I see the use. it's too late for xfree 4.4 and it'll be too old for 4.5 since by that time we'll be on to mesa 7 or 8. > > I guess if we stick with the way it is now, then most developers will > track Mesa's trunk and we may start to lag stable releases. > I think it's easier to have them in mesa, so that we can track the latest mesa fixes/features in the 3d drivers, but I'm not an expert. the only problem I can see is that we would have to merge mesa and dri into xfree86 when we did merges. either that or just package them separately. if a user wants 3D she/he will have to install a mesa package. then users can upgrade 3D without needing a new xfree86.
