X on GL will make this process faster
Merge DRM CVS --> LK
Release stable kernel --> Picked up by vendor
Release stable Mesa 3D --> Picked up by vendor
Release stable X.org --> Picked up by vendor
If DRM went into a kernel development model....
Release stable kernel --> Picked up by vendor
Release stable Mesa 3D --> Picked up by vendor
Release stable X.org --> Picked up by vendor
This is the fastest model. Merges have been eliminated.
You may think that X on GL (gnuLonghorn) is a crazy idea. But
comptetive pressures from the Mac and Longhhorn will force us into
doing it so or later. I'd rather do it sooner.
