I am raising another question - beyond the so called "bad timing":
The Xorg tree is under "feature freeze" - which means: "It is NOT
ALLOWED to add, remove to change features". Is this interpretation
correct ? If "yes" - where is the WRITTEN RULE which allowes anyone
simply to remove features ? URL, please...
