That is the problem.
If they continue to get so wildly out of sync,
they need be merged *at least* one month before each release,
so that beta testers can hammer at real candidates for release.

I'd like to see small amounts and frequent merges (say once a month,
if non-trivial amounts have changed) between the XFree86 and DRI trees.
