well, yes. and so it's a "goal", something to work towards.

this is at some level out of our own hands, but i find that when enough people 
enunciate their goals clearly, others take up the charge elsewhere as well. i 
really don't think that "graphics effects everywhere" idea is really being 
taken overly serious in the x.org (both the main project and driver writers) 
camp yet.

we'll always have "legacy devices" that don't do compositing, but the free 
software ought to be moving towards making such 
non-composition-systems "legacy" rather than "some current devices"

this does not obviate the need to address issues that arise right now from the 
brokeness of compositing in x.org based systems, but i think it's a useful 
goal to have and keep reminding others (not just KDE people) about.
