Actually, this is not our plan. The bigger picture is that we are
moving towards kernel modesetting and making the X.Org server running
as non-root, and this requires a kernel component. End users ask to be
able to run X.Org without root privileges, and also want to avoid a
kernel module at the same time. This is not possible, because running
X.Org as a user requires that kernel module to handle all the
low-level things  that'd require root privs otherwise. Really, you
can't have your cake and eat it.

FWIW, I think other drivers are going to drop the kernel-less mode at
some point. We just happen to be a little ahead on that front.

Why is nouveau hard to use because of gallium ?
