New server requires new drivers. Old server requires old drivers. There
is no valid combination of new and old.
Then you should probably has new drivers block old servers and new
servers block old drivers...
OK, let's think about the results of this.
New drivers block old servers:
Rather, why wouldn't new drivers depend on a new server? This makes
sense and is already what we're doing.
New servers block old drivers:
This will require people to uninstall all their drivers to upgrade
their server. It will not automatically reinstall them in the 'emerge -u
xorg-server' case, but it _should_ reinstall them in the 'emerge -u
world' case _if_ they're using the xorg-x11 metabuild.
I'm not sure whether portage does a --deep by default now, but I think
that's what is necessary for correct behavior in the 'emerge -u world' case.
Thanks,
Donnie
