Is this true?

I think something needs to be done about this as all new work on X and 
Cairo is depending on pixman.

I have had an outstanding patch set for 8 months now. Søren responded to 
an earlier version and I tried to address it but have not heard anything 
since. This is very frustrating as I would like to work on this but I'm 
not going to do it if it is useless.

If nothing is going to change in pixman I think Cairo is going to have 
to fork it and make a local copy. This is going to remove the ability 
for Cairo to use X remote rendering (since X will still be using the old 
pixman), though it is unclear if any serious software is using this mode 
any more.
