You'd have to persuade the Stable Release Manager to permit such a thing, and frankly I think there is a greater chance of the Sun reversing its course across the sky. Because he is so busy he appears to be only permitting in security fixes and *nothing* else. Even were he more lenient, XFree86 is a huge piece of infrastructure to change in a point release, and should not be undertaken lightly. Finally, in my opinion the XFree86 4.2.1 packages in unstable aren't suitable for a stable release yet. Does that answer your question? -- G.
