<p dir="ltr">Asking for an official position isn't especially effective in this community, as we don't have anyone designated as a decision-maker. But perhaps we can have a conversation about this question at the X.Org Developers Conference in Bordeaux this week.</p>
<p dir="ltr">My personal opinion is that we might as well turn all the current X servers into Xorg loadable drivers, but obviously we don't have a community-wide consensus on that. ;-)</p>
<p dir="ltr">> * In case I decide to proceed with Xephyr code merging into a video driver, should I do it in current project xf86-video-nested, or fork a new one (e.g. xf86-video-ephyr)?</p>
<p dir="ltr">I would suggest doing it in the nested project, even if you wind up rewriting it from scratch. There isn't much value in keeping the current nested code if you get something Xephyr-like working.</p>
