This stable release has been consciously released broken - forget the
deadlock, also extreme slowness with compiz was known since jaunty alpha
1, much earlier than the 3rd of April. The driver should not have landed
beta and should be removed from stable, that's what I am saying.

Of course since I am not an authority I think it is good to ask Bryce
who actually is an authority in Xorg/ubuntu. Maybe there are very good
reasons why we don't want the old driver in ubuntu.
