So once these deprecated functions are removed, how's Xlib/XCB stand
compared to standard Xlib? Is it equal to or better than, or do the
remaining bugs make it less capable?

I'd be happy to see an Xlib/XCB release with known bugs that is still at
least as good as the last Xlib release.

Somehow I blocked out the first part of that since, ya know, it doesn't
exist yet. I'll be glad to ship as soon as there's a release _to_ ship.
I've already got everything packaged in my local repo.

Thanks,
