Not only, I have your current activity in mind, but there have
been others in the past.

Again I'm not opposed to your work if it makes the protocol decoders
more robust and easier to read (which is a relative notion, new code
also needs effort to grok if you're used to the old one).
There have been enough security issues in the past in this area (and I
sure there are still a lot waiting to be "discovered", because there
is no currently active effort beside yours to and the work by ZDI to
audit and fix issues actively.

But I'm lacking time to be helpful and I hate when a change breaks on
the system for which I'm maintaining the X.Org stack (OpenBSD) and
this costs me even more time...
