Isn't Red Hat forking the accelerated GL community by working on AIGLX
instead of Xgl? It seems like Xgl is to AIGLX as SELinux is to AppArmor.
The analogy here seems to be off the mark since AIGLX and SELinux has
been developed in the open right from the start unlike AppArmor and XGL
and unlike security frameworks such as SELinux, there are different
approaches you can experiment with in a budding development of
accelerated interfaces without any fundamental forks. You might want to
read the FAQ at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RenderingProject/aiglx on
doing incremental updates in comparison to whole sale rewrites of a X
server.
The media likes to paint black and white situations of X vs Y while
there is also a code sharing between XGL and AIGLX going on.
