Will I be able to uninstall unnecessary drivers?
You previously had all the drivers installed. By default, we're going
to be installing all of the drivers as that keeps things easier for
people to change hardware, etc. Although not recommended, you can (at
least currently) remove the xorg-x11-drivers package and then remove
individual driver packages that you don't need. This could cause
problems down the road if drivers get split or some other reason for
needing a new driver package.
Except that that wont work when I make the X server depend on the
xorg-x11-drivers package to be present, to stop people from
uninstalling drivers. ;o)
