No more module proposals - decisions need to be made

[Havoc Pennington]

Hi,

I continue to feel it's silly to pull in dependencies that have nothing
to do with freedesktop.org and specifically interoperability. In the
spirit of keeping the first platform release uncontroversial and safe I
think these should be left out. We should be strongly erring on the side
of *fewer* modules.

So that implies, in my opinion which people are free to argue with:

I'm very skeptical of this if KDE is not using it. I don't know if they
are.

No.

Definitely let's leave it out.

No.

No since it's part of X.org as Daniel says.

There is a general problem here of overlap with X.org, and how a fd.org
release relates to that, which is to some extent being ignored right
now. If we're not going to try to solve it we should definitely again
err on the side of a smaller release.

No and no.

I vote no on both.

As a side question, for the included specs should they be marked 1.0 if
we're going to 'release' them?
