Well UNIX sockets are local only, which does have some security benefit.

Ah ok. I like what Harold does with "TEST" releases to test this sort of
change. It's my feeling that the main binaries shouldn't change to test
things for users.

I recall chris asking about freeing space up - Chris, is there room for
two copies of the XFree86 binaries - one "stable", one "testing" ?

Suhaib - if Chris has disk space for that, does that make sense to you?
