That would be great. I'd like to ask Aetf for a versioned release as well, but first I'd like to get composing working. There's an open issue for that and I independently had a patch for that as well, so I'll see if I can get that upstreamed.

I would like something a bit more formal to test kmscon. So far I've just been testing out different modes and see if aptitude draws everything correctly, but that's hardly a decent compliance test.

It would be great if it could be moved back under FDO auspices, but I haven't tried to contact them, yet. Going by your experiences that might not be worth the effort then.
