This design still requires a global server app since the heads share a

I am always concerned that the root priv code in the X server is a
potential security hole. I would like to move away from a model where
there is a global controlling app. I don't think we need a global
controlling app at all.
If you have multiple "controlling" apps competing for a single device,
that either implies complexity in each app for sharing control, or
moving even more code into the kernel for 2D and 3D.
I don't think the kernel community is yet interested in moving
everything of consequence into the kernel.
