This has been killed :

All drivers have been updated, for example intel one :
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=9a3b568d62a0b48f4a42ea5377740b2df1af432a

It looks like intel-legacy package is just using an older release of
the intel driver (2.3.2) so that was obviously not updated with the
new server changes.

Why does that intel-legacy package still exist ?
Are there any long-standing critical issues that have been reported to
upstream and still not fixed ?
