No, it was not a joke. I talked with Julien Cristeau the other day on
IRC, because I thought that there are too many ways how Xorg can be
configured these days (HAL, udev, xinput, gppointing-device-settings,
xorg.conf, ..).

Autoconfiguration of Xorg will be handled with udev by default starting
with xorg-server 1.8 and user configuration should go to xorg.conf and
he planned to upload a new package to sid soon.
