Xorg people want to unbundle the big pile of code they inherited from XFree86, so they don't have to ship anymore copies of other people stuff (fontconfig, mesa, xterm...), it builds using mainstream autoconf* scripts, drivers can be released as a different pace than the core package (so no full rebuild each time you need to add a new card), etc It means packaging will probably get easier because you won't have an enormous srpm that generates scores of packages (with a large part of the big archive content disable to use system libraries instead) but lots of different source archives. I doubt they manage to pull it out for FC5 though - it's an enormous task and all the OS are not created equal (some do not have their own fontconfig module...), so some port maintainers push for keeping an unified blob.
