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 ?
