If the server+drivers packages becomes as self-contained as the kernel,
then I think it's fine.
However, if the server "forces" changes like the Xext lib/proto
overhaul, then the benefits are going to be much less.
As for the release cycles, how about having 3 month cycles globally but
the server core stays feature-frozen every other release? At least maybe
for the first release or 2?
Food for thoughts
