I'd feel most comfortable waiting until we package X.Org in the post-sarge timeframe to close this bug. Adding support for an option that's going to be renamed just adds headache for us and our users. However, if someone really wanted to seize hold of this issue in the next few days and babysit a patch ready for merge against the SVN trunk, I might be able to be persuaded otherwise. It's really all about someone taking ownership of the patch. At present, I don't have to do so. -- G.
