Yes. ;)Also, while I do believe in keeping the X server relatively simple and not heaping extension after extension on it, with more information from nakee, I think, if it's something x.org is putting forward (MAS), and it's supposedly going into a future X11 revision (i.e., X's X), then hey, it will have to go in, or this will no longer be an up-to-date X.
Nevertheless I see the other side too, that this is just more cruft... As I said to the person who suggested this, yes, I think it's cruft, but if this is the way xouvert is going, so be it... It's MIT-licensed, of course anyone who doesn't like the new direction can fork the code, although I would hate to see either someone leaving or someone forking the code over this.
I say, wtf, I'll go with it. Not to mention, having MAS will probably prove useful to a certain project I have in the works... :)
-uso.
