The idea is to have the xcb back be a drop in replacement for the xlib one, where apps that were written using the old methodology still work properly (althuogh gain no benefit from using xcb). Then, slowly apps can update to take advantage of asynchronous calls. Also, a quote from: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/xcb/xfree86-xcb.pdf The reply list of an XCB connection is a reection of XCBs asynchronous reply delivery: replies arrive in request order but may be accessed out-of-order. So, on XCB's side they store the replies in a linked list. When you request one (using the cookie handle returned by the prefetch), it returns the requested one.
