You cannot move the .33 kernel without the corresponding Xorg packages.
There's an Intel driver update pending that Jan wants to do. Xorg with
KMS just depends deeply on the kernel drm interface.

So far I don't know of any useful crash reports in our tracker. Neither
for Nouveau/Ati nor Intel.

And there's definitely no need to rush. The kernel and Xorg are
independent from all other rebuilds. But for sure they should be moved
before mesa7.8 and Xorg1.8 will go to testing.
