Is XGL something that will replace X.org?

"David intends to get the code into freedesktop CVS as soon as possible, after which the code should eventually merge with Xorg.Wally Balljacker wrote:Is XGL something that will replace X.org?
No, XGL is basicly just an extention to Xorg that makes Xorg do it's drawing with OpenGL, so stuff like KDE can use 3D acceleration to draw shadows, shading, tranperancy......

For some reason I thought that it was already in the new Xorg 7 but KDE just didn't use it yet. Guess not. Will this be put in the next minor version of Xorg 7? It doesn't seem like a minor update 
and I don't want to wait for Xorg 7.1

I don't know, I guess you might be able to use it as a kind of Xorg module.
