I recall reading that the xserver team changed their |
| 61 |
release policy to not hold up releases for proprietary |
| 62 |
drivers (same as the kernel team). So this is as expected. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
I was just hoping someone would have a more elegant |
| 65 |
management solution for handling the new situation. |
