Yes. We'd wanted to get server 1.5 in when server 1.5 was planned
for a May/June release, but when it slipped to September, it didn't
leave us enough time to get it integrated and tested.

No, the SPARC version has slipped, to a planned preview in January
and official release with 2009.04 in April.

It will allow us to integrate changes that you've put into the fox-gate - some
of those are clearly good bug fixes we definitely could use, but I still haven't
looked at all of them.

I don't know what you think I've done to indicate that, but it's not true.
We're still accepting contributions from Moinak, and I'm even sponsoring
external contributor putbacks to other gates. I started the process to
sponsor changes from you, but it's currently stuck on the lack of Contributor
Agreement.

I won't object to it, but it's not something on the official priority
list, since there are no UPA-bus graphics on the official support list.
(The official support list for 2009.04 is currently the XVR-100, XVR-300,
and XVR-2500 Xorg drivers being supplied by the SPARC graphics team.)
