You need to calm down. I only quoted and replied to a small portion
your post. I am not the person to answer all these questions, so
there's no point to replying to my message with these question. You
mentioned 'hidden' and 'last minute' and I only disagreed with that. I
am not prepared to argue against/for the merits of an early Xorg etc.

I only originally asked a question since you seemed to be aware of a
problem with RHGB that I was not aware of, and wanted to be informed.
