I've set up a copr containing a rebuild of the X server and drivers for
the upstream 1.20 release candidates. Unfortunately the upstream and
Fedora schedules didn't line up as well as I'd have liked, so I'm not
going to try to land this for F28 GA. But I would _very_ much like to
push this as an update, and would appreciate any and all testing and
feedback.
I would say the opposite: land this today so that it can get in F28 Beta
(tomorrow starts package freeze for the beta release), and don't do a
post release update that changes the drivers ABI.
This way, you get all the Fedora QA testing that's done as part of the
release with the new xserver code, and avoid a disruptive post release
update that invalidates all the QA testing + creates a problematic ABI
change.
