Does the benefit of changing the license, supercede the disadvantages of exclusion of 4.4.0 in several major Linux and BSD UNIX distributors?

What are those disadvantages? If you read the XFree86 mission statement, ( http://www.xfree86.org/mission.html ) you will find nowhere does it state a goal of being included in as many distros as possible, and in fact states that they have a goal of avoiding influences from distributors and other non-technical issues. In fact, you could almost argue from the last sentence of the primary goal section there, that it is an advantage to the XFree86 mission to not be included since it saves them from those distributors trying to influence the project.
