Nobody is willing to enforce this kind of policy upon people that's
why a big stick is necessary, so that other people cannot get work
done if the tree gets broken like that.
When I told the person responsible that they broke half of the
input driver builds they didn't think it was much of a big deal.
This kind of response upset me incredibly, so I made a huge stink
about this to a very senior Xorg developer, however that email was
completely ignored.

See above.
