Not really, no. Pixman only does it because the X server requires regions
to be marked as YX-banded to be deigned valid (or 'complete', as an FBO
analogy), and a number of the rendering algorithms in the server depend on
it.

We don't have any of that, so can happily do without banding. A patch to
Pixman which would optionally drop the strict banding would be nice, but if
there's a small enough region implementation we could use instead, that
could work.

Cheers,
Dan
