The previous statement on IGLX when it was disabled was:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=d0da0e9c3bb8fe0cd4879ecb24d21715bfaa209b

and said "Just disable it unless someone wants to enable it for their special 
use case (using +iglx on the command line)." not "Just disable it so we can
delete it soon."
