xc/programs considered harmful

[Leon Shiman]

Daniel -

There  is a procedure already in place for deprecating ANY code. It is part 
of X.Org's commitment to stability of the code base.  The Architecture Group 
is the place to start; under Paul Anderson's chairmanship they are empowered 
to review and propose changes. You should write xorg_arch at x.org.

It is also inappropriate to propose cdhanges - much less changes of this 
magnitude - just prior to the Christmas-New Year's holidays, which affect 
many active members of the community.

I suggest you start by reviewing standing policies with Paul Anderson.
