X.org server 1.5: An ABI Too Far?

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R <caf omen com>]

Should Rawhide switch back to a supported version of X.org,
or at least make it an option?  Much of what makes a desktop
contemporary depends on features in the Nvidia driver not
presented in the nv driver.

I Googled around and didn't find any explanation of what
fantastic wonders await us with the new ABI.  I did get the
impression the new X.org ABI isn't even settled yet, let alone
finished and implemented. 

If that is true,  perhaps Fedora should stick with a working
version of X until the support for the New X is there.  Or at
least provide a working (e.g., Compiz et al.) X as a choice.
