That also means you have to give lots more people driver CVS 
access. It doesn't need ACL's and other magic because CVS
does back revisions and its rather easy to remove someone
from CVS 8)

Thats my personal big annoyance with XFree86. I'd like to be able
to commit to the drivers that I maintain efficiently. Its not just
an X problem, I know there are people with the same complaints about
the kernel in some places things have gone less smoothly but its 
solvable.

I'd actually be interested to know what %age of X commit work is driver
work rather than core stuff ?
