@birdie but hasn’t X’s API/ABI been changed before between major versions? That’s why (as far as I understand) the Nvidia drivers probe what is actually available as explained here, no?
IMO, a more important question is whether Xlibre is able to provide some actual value while not degrading stability. My personal bet is 50/50 currently.
