Actually, "Management" doesn't prefer wsfb at all - it was purely
an engineering decision on my part to give me something I could use
to test the initial bringup of the Xorg server on SPARC to avoid being
caught in the catch-22 of "Can't test Xorg server until drivers are
ported, can't port driver until Xorg server is up and running."

I'm not sure "Management" even knows wsfb is still there - it's
certainly not something there are plans to officially support.

The official supported Xorg/sparc driver list from "Management"
at the moment is:
	kfb	- XVR-2500
	efb	- XVR-50, XVR-100, XVR-300
	ast	- AST2100
