Nope never said that, they won't be able to use the one after this one ;-)

They can use as much of the release as they can currently, if they want
new 3D driver features they'll need to upgrade.. (to be honest there isn't
much extra in the DRM from Xorg 6.7 to Xorg 6.8).. and I'd like to get the
DRM be a kernel thing rather than a X thing all this spread-out
development doesn't seem to be helping anyone...

And if we do get around to this great super unified graphics driver that
also ends world hunger I ain't backporting it to 2.4 :-)
