Currently the libxcb update is causing me major headaches. Most of my  
machines I ignore the update, but my work machine is halfway through  
and some of my important apps still aren't working (I can't even get  
tiff to compile). :/

xf86-input-evdev 2.1.3 causes X to crash within a few seconds, but  
that's only on one machine, I haven't tested the others. I recall  
hearing that 2.y branches from X.org, if y is odd, are the 'devel'  
branch, so we may want to avoid those.
