On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 01:01:02PM -0700 I heard the voice of
Steve Kargl, and lo! it spake thus:

Well, I never got them "filling" in a flooding sense.  I did get
regular bursts of them for a while (often video-related, I think), but
they never caused any visible problem.

The last I see in old messages files now is from July.  That might
have been when I switched it from stable->next?  Looking at the
mssages file, shortly after the reboot shortly following the last
fence, I see

Jul 20 21:19:47 cepheus pkg: drm-stable-kmod-g20180619_1 deinstalled
Jul 20 21:19:48 cepheus pkg-static: drm-next-kmod-4.11.g20180619_1 installed

and I haven't seen one since.
