releng has the exact definition in that they will/won't be doing the
pullup. But generally "Show stopper" is a nasty crash-the-machine bug.
Like a bug which just got fixed in the nfs server where a lot of diskless
clients booting at the same time would crash the nfs server.

As I understand this patch, it's a patch to get X working on a display X
doesn't currently work on. Also, the failure mode is that X won't work,
not that trying the X server will crash the machine. :-)

Sounds like a great fix for 1.4.1 though.

Take care,

Bill
