I'd imagine it's pretty simple; Eduard has been personally affected by
buiggy hardware cursors, but has never had to use UseFBDev.

Eduard has a tendency to extrapolate his personal experiences to
universal applicability, which is why he accuses other Debian Developers
of violating the Social Contract when they don't fix bugs the way he
wants them fixed.

There are several good ideas in the patch, though, and I will
incorporate some of them when I rewrite xserver-xfree86.config.in.
