Okay, so this was kind of beaten to death already but I think it's
also worthwhile to distinguish between various forms of 'new'.  Since
it's not compiled in by default and requires the --enable-compositor
configure switch to get it compiled, it has received extremely little
testing and thus ought to be considered a new feature from the
standpoint of the Gnome release even if it's not "new" code.
