I could understand this reluctance with the glacial progress of  the old 
xfree tree... but  I was under the impression that this was one of the 
things that xorg wanted to promote i.e. rapid driver development. i.e. 
this would be development in the xorg CVS tree. aka the unstable branch.
I agree we rely on users feedback, but it would be no harder for them to 
checkout from the xorg CVS than sourceforge.

Also, is the freedesktop CVS a bit more reliable/available than the 
sourceforge anon one?

Just my 2p anyway. Although since you two (Luc, Totte) are the ones 
who've been submitting the changes to the X branch I guess you've got 
more votes... but I think it's a good idea.

Cheers,
Ivor.
