Maintaining the seperate tree from XFree86 is actually a lot of effort: merges
back and forth between the two require significant manual intervention, and
must be performed by somebody with write access to both CVS repositories.
My recommendation would be to move future work on the DRI parts of XFree86 to
where it belonged all along: The XFree86 project.
