I will not have Debian's XFree86 packages break protocol compatibility
with upstream XFree86.

I am on the fence regarding these patches until I know whether they do
so or not.

In any case, getting these patches aired upstream (XFree86, not
necessarily X.Org) is a very, very good idea, because people much
savvier with X protocol design and implementation details can thus get a
good, critical look at it.
