enlightenment isn't really a core part of this discussion though - quite
peripheral :). i know it will have certain performance issues in places - but
it makes up for those with cutting out huge chunks in other places. it has it's
share of bugs of course. it is by no means perfect. i do know which parts are
very well tested and hammered to death in terms of solidity and speed though. i
doubt it's as good as the xserver overall though. this is something i would
like the time to have to go over the code and audit it for checking all things
that alloc and have sane unwind code with minimal user impact at the highest
levels.

don't think it's suddenly a savior. it has its rough edges too... :)

but thanks for the vote of confidence :)
