And how many patches Xlibre has applied meanwhile?...
Considering they have an active GitHub repo, likely recently. Even more so with the BSD's incorporating it as a default.
Might want to steer clear of xlibre:

The BSD's are embracing xlibre, so it is a project that's being taken seriously and has real technical merits.
Good for them.
They've already been patching those before X.Org got those updates. I use XLibre myself, so I'd know about it anyway.
