Re: To 1.14 or not?

At UDS we made the decision to try to target xserver 1.14 this cycle,

targeted for March.

This cycle's focus is the nexus7, with its tegra3 video driver.  We'll
need to get it rebuilt for the new xserver ABI, and still have time for
one or two updates in case of bugs.  The former I think is pretty
straightforward, and we can just block 1.14 until it exists; the latter,
though, I'm less confident about.

For tegra it's not a rebuild but getting a new version from nvidia for the new ABI, in time. That might prove to be hard, I'm told.

Meanwhile, we also will be having the display server arriving late in
cycle, and needing to deal with updates/bugs/testing of that.  We may
find ourselves flush with bugs and flat on time...


If we were to just skip 1.14 this cycle and stick with 1.13.x, what
would we lose out on?

The new input stuff, chance to drop our pointer barrier patch. We could also just sync with upstream there, and otherwise keep 1.13.
