X.org has a strong policy of backward compatability and API/ABI stability that means that: 1. Improvements are much more difficult then they need to be. 2. They get chewed out when they actually release those improvements.Sure, with the X11 protocol backwards compat is important. But the driver-server ABI has been broken with the majority of server releases since modularizing, and that's where driver improvements are relevant.
