In principle I'm in favour of a merge but we still don't have a viable
update path. Just doing a system-update from the old xorg to the new
one _will_ break large parts of people's systems. cleanse is unable to
fix the resulting mess.

I'm still working on it. I can push what I have now, but it still needs work. I haven't been pushing what I have because I wanted to keep the spells at a constant version which I know cast fine. I have found pretty much all the spells that need to be recast, but I'm having problems getting the spells to cast in the right order when switching from master to devel-xorg-modular. It's a pretty time consuming task to test and I keep getting circular dependencies.

Anyway, I'm currently on vacation for around another week, so I can't do it right now. I'd prefer to push everything when I get everything working though.
