Meanwhile, Intel hasn't issued a stable driver update in three years and their last development snapshot of xf86-video-intel 3.0 is two years old.
It is not abandoned, and the article shouldn't lean toward that conclusion either. If it's performance differences I would like to see benchmarks. If it's security issues, I would like to see unresolved CVE's.
I know that Intel's team saw a couple of great developers leaving but if you have any hard evidence that xf86-video-intel is bust - please present them with facts to support that claim.
Lack of stable tags is not one of them.
According to this, Debian devs haven't mentioned better reasons for the switch as well: https://tjaalton.wordpress.com/2016/...g-driver-on-x/
