Yes, possibly the same goes for aiglx.

The problem that we hardly have the time to get feedback.
I do know that I currently see loads of bug reports passing by on the 
debian-x list relating to compiz, beryl and related stuff, which would 
make me very reluctant to enable anything by default.

However, I will be the first to admit that I have not used any of it 
myself so far and don't know enough about it anyway. My mail was purely 
intended to make the people working on this take a step back and ask 
themselves if these new functionalities are really ready to be enabled by 
default.

Only if the question is only asked at lower debconf priorities and still 
have sensible defaults.
