KISS dictates that we abandon abstraction tools as much as possible. Especially those tools that duplicate functionality. IMO, the most KISS thing to do with it is keep it, but in the next release, remove the -x function entirely.
I'm going to nip this in the bud here and make it clear that I have no intention of abandoning hwd. Unless the Gov says otherwise, it's staying in extra. hwd does more than just generate xorg configs and even then I think it can be updated to generate 'correct' configs. We're talking about feature requirements that *just* went public in the past week.
What's the rush?
More to the point: hwd is not an arch tool. It's not even recommended by us anywhere as far as I can tell. It is a useful tool, sure, but why so much stink over one application in extra that is broken? It's just another third party application guys.
