Yeah, I've been thinking about that issue too, and I was wondering if
it would make sense to ship full drivers (i.e. DRM+DDX+DRI) together
instead of having to ensure 3-way compatibility between those modules.
The binary drivers do it, and no one complains to them (well not for
this reason at least). Actually, this lets them ensure that users
always have all the latest bits. I find it pretty weird that in an
open source world, the binary drivers have an edge as far as
distribution is concerned...
