These constant arguments of things being unnecessary because someone thinks most people don't need them make little sense - someone needs them, and the cost to everyone else of having them is not that great. By that logic, 90% of the computers in the world don't use Linux, so it's unnecessary and should be scrapped immediately. 90% of the people in the world don't speak Italian, so it's unneccassary as well - we'll pull all the italian localization support from Linux & XFree86 while you convince everyone in Italy to speak only English. And just because no one uses something now, does not mean it's of little benefit in the future - 10 years ago 99.9% of computers were not connected to the Internet, but fortunately those who were improved things for those who had not yet discovered it. > - Xrender is faster than Xcore render.. ex. antialising. Last I checked Xrender was an extension to the core renderer to speed up operations not well handled in the core, but did not replace many common operations the core handles just fine. > - xlib is obsolete and not multitread Xlib has been thread-safe since X11R6 was released almost a decade ago.

The existing model allows both of us to get our work done - yours benefits you and people like you to the detriment of all others. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Sun Software Group Quality, Integration, & Customer Success (QICS) Platform Globalization Engin. - X11 Engineering
