well we do need to improve the networking to be more efficient
like they say,
and I'm not so sure trying to push a unified widget standard is such a bad
idea.
adding unified unicode/bidi support is not such a bad idea, even if it
breaks few old programs still moving everything to unicode is something
which must be done at some point. (maybe even in xkb?)

Alpha blending would only be added next release.
so their anti-x11 thing is not THAT not true..
