Though I would love to see xorg-devel merged to test at some point too,
it's not a priority for me right now, and I don't feel particularly
worried about breaking spells in z-rejected, even if the bug is in
xorg-server, as long as it doesn't break any driver in test I'm fine
with it...

BTW, does it break nouveau?
