http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10262 which has been
RESOLVED/FIXED since August?

Well, the 'multi-year regression'[0] has been fixed for the past four
months now, so ...

[0]: input-hotplug was merged into master (the unstable development
     branch) in November 2006; the body of drivers were fixed in March
     2007, virtually all the drivers were fixed in August 2007, and the
     very last one was fixed in September 2007.  I'm not holding this up
     as an example of brilliant development, but it's not a two-year
     regression, however you paint it.
