If we're taking a vote, it "works for me" too, although the option is
-ignoreABI, not -ignoreAbi.

So the consensus is that, while it may well not work for all, it
certainly is likely to work for most, so it is worth trying. It's not
like this is a system-critical package that will stop you booting, the
worst that can happen is that you are without a desktop for a few minutes.

It would be prudent to quickpkg the previous version in xorg-server
(unless you have buildpkg in FEATURES) so that you can switch back
quickly if you do have a problem.
