+They will. The question is not "if", but "when". 
+
+And not pushing a new version is not gonna make this appear sooner.
+
+Also, not pushing the new version is likely decrease the quality of the
+xorg server, since there will be less tests done, ( or rather tests done
+later ). 
+
+This is also sending the wrong signal ( ie, "take cards supported by
+proprietary blob and by vendors that are not providing sources, because
+we care more about them rather than those who fully cooperate" ).
