I'd like to fix the X server reasonably soon (7.1?). I was planning on
incrementing the minor version number in the Render protocol to mark
this semantic change so that clients could tell the difference. Of
course, this presumes that clients would be updated reasonably rapidly
after the Render changes. I'm not sure how we'd deal with old clients on
a new server; leaving the broken semantics in place with the 'right'
name seems like a long-term maintenence problem.
