I get old. When I read this, I thought -- what the hell do they implement X10 device drivers for? We got rid of them in 1988 or so, when X11 came out and the X Consortium was founded. (And yes, I remember that switch quite well; having fought with imake a lot.)

And then I learn that nowadays X10 means something completely different that I have never heard about.

Sigh. ;-)
