Why XSserver 1.4 won't make it into Ubuntu Gutsy

Ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy Gibbon, the next community version of the popular Linux distribution, will appear in October. It will not, however, include the latest and greatest X window server and utilities: Xserver 1.4 and X.Org 7.3. Although Xserver 1.4 is very close to being delivered, its delivery date is August 29, 2007, but it still has bugs that need to be fixed. We must balance this against the vast bulk of Ubuntu users who have little idea what "X" is, and just want the GUI to work reliably. I felt that time would be best spent focusing on the needs of this latter group, enhancing the stability of Xorg, backporting fixes, and ensuring Display Config Gtk and BulletProofX are as reliable as we can make them. http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4979518777.html
