IMHO, Encouraging people to dasable KMS on official packages is more sane for now. Those who need the latest and greatest should do it on their own.

Please, don't make too many experiments in the stable repos and keep the packages in the repos as close to the "stable" upstream releases as possible. I don't think that having a git version in the repo is a good idea anyway. I can imagine that upstream already knows about the problems and is already working on it. I agree with Nezmer that people who want the latest unstable packages should build them on their own from AUR. If an official package completely doesn't work then I think downgrading it to the latest working version is better than upgrading it to an unstable version. Greetings, Heiko

We would also like to do this. Would mean much less work for us.

New kernel brings changes in drm modules. Xorg ddx driver updates require new kernel modules and sometimes even more recent stuff. There's new mesa out now. And upstream devs work hard on the kmd-drm-gallium switch for the future.

Sadly not all part move at the same time and distributions have to decide whether to package old stuff that isn't supported upstream anymore or more recent and sadly buggy stuff.

We will try to fix all known issues in testing before we move stuff to core/extra.

also we have to know what issue exists and that's require testing from you guys. don't forget that downgrading is not a solution and all issue should be submitted to bugtracker. this is the only way to let us know about that. -- Ionut
