I feel I should say at this point that ISTM you and the rest of the
FreeBSD/Xorg people have been making a heroic effort in the face of a
not-quite-actively-hostile upstream for a good while now, and the
resulting relative stability is greatly appreciated. (Of course, I've
just upgraded my home desktop to 10-S/radeonkms/vt/NEW_XORG with no
trouble, so... :) )
