Hey now.... not sure that I'd place that derailment as single root cause
for this. :-) Seems to me that if management really wanted to nuke
Xsun, they'd figure out how to complete the ports of the critical
drivers to Xorg. They may have good reasons for not electing to spend
the funding there, but don't blame *me* for that decision. :-)

Do we still need the Xsun versions? Maybe its time to nuke 'em?

Right, I saw that.

True. Someday maybe Xnewt can become an Xorg driver... maybe....
I still grant my +1 to this project.
