I consider it ready to release. I did most of the development before pushing to the pageflip branches and only considered merging to the master branches once everything was in place, only requiring fixes to potential bugs. Let me also point out again that the new functionality has to be enabled via options which default to off, so apart from potential build issues (though I've tried hard not to introduce any new build requirements) the impact is relatively low. That said, if you do encounter any issues with it, please don't hesitate to report them (I read the xorg-team list so I should see relevant bugzilla entries) or even remove the code from master if they jeopardize the release and I can't react within reasonable time for some reason.
