What I ment was, has the situation stabalised? If there are patches that work, lets get them in. But if they DRI stuff is in a phase of broken/fixed on a weekly basis, I'd rather wait for the dust to settle a bit. Or at the very least, for some patches to appear on upstream's radar. > Mind you, my situation has now become even more confused.
