The order between damage, attach, etc. must be irrelevant, as long
as commit is the last request. This became when we added the commit
request. If there is wording in the spec saying otherwise, I suggest it
should be fixed.

The commit request was introduced at 0.95.0-40-g3962402, which is
before 1.0. From the very beginning the idea was to allow free
ordering, and if a compositor properly implements the double-buffered
state mechanism, the ordering is automatically free.
