That was an ambiguous statement from me. It was a sweeping
generalisation. :)

No, X.org is not going to be released to Debian. The only major changes
that are taking place is making XFree86 suit the modular tree that X.org
use so that compatability between the two (in the possible eventuality
that a move to X.org does take place) is possible.

What is taking the time for Sarge's release now, is the propogation of
bug fixes of Gnome/GTK to Sarge.
