Forgive my nievity, but I'm seeing something silly here.

We're smashing two grimoires together, but one will exist only in a  
branch. How is this any better than having two repositories? AFAICT,  
it is not any better.

Also, why was it decided that the xorg-modular grimoire needed to be  
within test? I'm assuming it's due to the desire to get it into our  
stable testing procedure.

What's the rest of the timeline for merging the "devel-xorg-modular"  
branch into the "normal" test grimoire, so that there's no more  
devel-xorg-modular branch? I wasn't privileged to the discussion, nor  
do I have time to read histories, so when telling the ML about it,  
please detail the plan.

Thanks,
