I don't think "everyone" pulls from master - "everyone" run the distributions, and they always pin to the specific git commits. Only people who run xorg master are the ones who want bleeding edge, and those would be using it no matter release or not.

And it's not like metux will suddenly become more careful just because he does not have to worry about other anymore. If anything, I expect there to be much faster changes and much more breaking things... Here is a great quote [0]

> @metux that you've had to fix this bug twice (!1844 (merged), !1845 (merged)) shows a lack of attention and care. This was a known regression, with clear reproduction steps, and at first glance, it does not look like you tested your PR at all.

> And that goes in general; I really haven't seen the level of care and attention I would expect to see in these patches; several of them had obvious buffer overflow issues that would have easily been caught if tested.
