Control freaks? Is it more control-freakish to dictate your use of
Wayland than it was to dictate your use of X?
X has a big bunch of problems, and it is a big old codebase. I don't
know the ins and outs of the decision, but I really don't like this
assumption that it must be a bad thing.
Also, you may as well get Testing now, it's quite stable by most
people's standards and it'll just become the official stable come
Squeeze's release.
