I am updating the xorg-x11 rpms to new source code base, every time CVS 
gets a new tag, which in this case means, every new release candidate. 
Any patch that goes into X.Org CVS, will make it into rawhide after 
X.Org CVS gets tagged, and our main tarball gets updated to the new 
release and built in rawhide.  Expect to see new rpms within 2 days of a 
new CVS tag barring problems or other priorities that arise.
