The analogy here seems to be off the mark since AIGLX and SELinux has 
been developed in the open right from the start unlike AppArmor and XGL 
and unlike security frameworks such as SELinux, there are different 
approaches you can experiment with in a budding development of 
accelerated interfaces without any fundamental forks. You might want to 
read the FAQ at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RenderingProject/aiglx on 
doing incremental updates in comparison to whole sale rewrites of a X 
server.

The media likes to paint black and white situations of X vs Y while 
there is also a code sharing between XGL and AIGLX going on.
