I have become rather dependent on xfree-devel - it supports my SiS card much
better than xfree86 4.3. But I have came to loathe all rumblings that have
came of last from the xfree "consortium". If there was a stable alternative,
I'd say to drop it. Since there isn't (yet), maybe the best is to put the
newer versions in z-rejected (maybe as xnonfree?). But we will soon have to
take into consideration the changes in the apache license too...
