I'm certainly not trying to put any extra work on the arch teams; this |
14 |
is conceptually arch-independent, and the only extra work should be on |
15 |
the x11 team and on maintainers of unported apps. |

But if there are archs that would rather not move to modular X, that's |
18 |
their prerogative. The way I look at it is, sometimes change comes at a |
19 |
price. I really hope they aren't any archs I use though, because I take |
20 |
a certain amount of pride in making the best and newest X available. |

When people remask it, it's like they're directly battling against the |
22 |
whole reason I'm involved in Gentoo. |
