Now when an update is made to an upstream driver, the X maintainer just has to respin the driver, not the entire Xorg blob. An update can be made just for the driver package which is a MUCH smaller download than the entire Xorg blob. If in the future we get some way of doing dynamic package loading based on hardware detection, then we can trim out the packages. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
