If we just always used the dibengine no matter what, we would sometimes 'lose'

is just silly when we could use x11's renderer (the image is already over
there)...
But if we always use the DIB engine there won't be any coerce stuff at
all, everything will be done directly in the DIB and we won't use the
X11 renderer. Then the only time you have to copy is when doing a
BitBlt to the screen.
The DIB engine is a long way from being finished, however. There are some major
missing features - text rendering, for example. If the DIB engine is integrated
in such a way that it completely replaces X rendering for DIBSections, it will
work poorly for many applications, and would be less likely to get used and
improved.
With the current architecture, it can be improved on a completely incremental
basis.
