Regardless, the point is that Xnest is more or less unusable at the
moment, with some suggestions on where to start fixing (mainly the crash
on regeneration/exit) for people who do care about Xnest.  If you were
painting that as 'this code cannot go in if it breaks Xnest', then it's
sort of pointless, because I don't think we should be forced to consider
a server that segfaults on regeneration/exit, and apparently has done
since pre-6.8.2.
