'very few drivers' ... which cover about 99% of our userbase if you just look at the big three. But anyway, even if you don't think any metric which gives equal weighting to xf86-video-intel as to xf86-video-imstt is absolutely pointless, there are 12 drivers that we ship ported to EXA. > Deliberately breaking drivers without giving people a chance to fix them > isn't fair.

If you read the mail you're replying to, you'll note that I specifically advocated holding off the merge so the drivers could be fixed. Although if no-one even notices for six months or more, I think that tells you quite a lot about the state of the driver, its maintenance, and its usage.
