This has been discussed several times, the last time here:

Carl has stated that he intends to use XRender for
EXTEND_PAD/EXTEND_REFLECT eventually, see here:

intel/commit/?id=128223ee9b7880e640056475462eca9a88415492

The amount of work this should cause is minimal, as it's normal
procedure to maintain a few patches.  In the unlikely event that this
might cause a bugs, it's easy to have the offending driver fall back to
software.  There is certainly no potential for this to cause political
issues.
