I'd like to see you back up that 200 patches/day "fact". As someone who sees all the patches submitted to XFree86, I can assure you that it is nowhere near 200/day. Not even 200/month. Allow me to spoil a good argument with some real facts. For the month of May 2000, between 50 and 60 patches were submitted by registered XFree86 developers, and about 12 were submitted by others. As anyone can now see, the CHANGELOG post-4.0 has 370 entries right now, an average of 92 per month. Many of these are for things committed directly by developers with CVS commit access, and not submitted as patches.

The binaries on XFree86's ftp site largely match the xf-4_0-bindist tag.
