I think we're talking past each other again.

I believe you when you say that this update will not cause a regression
for users of the Xilinx desktop image who have not edited the
configuration in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

The issue we, on the SRU team, are concerned about are the two caveats there:
1) Users of the *Xilinx desktop image*, and
2) Who haven't edited the configuration.

The xf86-video-armsoc-endlessm package is in the Ubuntu archive, not
just the Xilinx images, and the guarantees we try to provide for
packages in the archive is that updates will not break anything that
currently works.

My understanding is that, currently, a user of a Xilinx board could have
built their own images from packages in the Ubuntu archive and not
include the metapackage containing the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
configuration, and this would work.

Also, a user of the Xilinx image who chose to edit
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and remove “needs_root_rights = yes” would
currently have a working system.

My understanding is that this update would result in both of the above
cases failing to work. *This* is what we are concerned about.

It's possible that we need a dedicated policy for volatile hardware-
enablement packages like this, both so that we can process them more
quickly for you and so that users are made aware that these specific
packages do not have the usual stability guarantees associated with the
Ubuntu archive. If that seems like a good idea, the next step on that
would probably be to start a discussion on ubuntu-devel@.
