DRI/DRM too me seems overly fiddly for what we had before. Things just seem to break in nasty ways if i do not manage to get the kernel and userspace stuff to line up within a certain range of minor versions, and i can't seem to find a good straight list of just what those lineups are. Effectively DRI/DRM seems to be developed for the major dev, by the major devs, and screw anyone and everyone that do not read every damn mailing list and IRC channel with religious fervor. Between that and the udev stuff i fear that Torvalds have gotten too trusting of his sub-system maintainers in recent years, thus resulting in interface churn because both the kernel and userspace parts are done by the same people with no regard for anyone but themselves.
