I agree 100%. ;o)

There are literally tonnes of them in our bugzilla system. If
you go to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla and query XFree86
for "DRI" in the description, a bunch of stuff will come up (be
sure to turn on NEEDINFO with the rest of the status's.
There are many bugs open with 3d screensavers kicking in and the
machine going south for example.
I will try to report things here in the future. My idea was by
doing it in the config tool, i could gage how things should be
constrained, and then patch X to avoid allowing combinations that
are unuseable.
Thanks Anan,
