X is moving in the direction of modularization, and this is one of the |
| 17 |
initial steps. Take a look at |
| 18 |
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularizationWorkingGroup or |
| 19 |
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularizationProposal if you're interested in |
| 20 |
getting involved or learning more about it. |

The basic idea is that there's absolutely no reason things that are |
| 23 |
almost completely unrelated (except for both involving X) should be |
| 24 |
interdependent and forced to version themselves together. |
