The branch structure in CVS is untouched; all we did was set a tag for the 
release (well, two tags, but that's another complicated story...)

I'd like to see XORG-CURRENT merged to HEAD and then XORG-RELEASE-1 merged 
to HEAD (with checks to make sure we don't merge stuff which was kludged 
just for the release).

I'd like to suggest that our next release be the same as 6.7.0 code-wise
and focus on switching build systems.  With no code changes, we can call 
this 6.7.1 and let people get some 'soak time' using the new build system 
without having to deal with broken new code at the same time.

We can steal useful bits from the modular tree, but we should make more
reasoned decisions about what bits belong where.
