"Scheduled for release tomorrow is X.Org 7.3. Among the new features for X.Org 7.3 include the Xorg server 1.4, an application for adjusting a display's backlight, updated display drivers, and support for font catalog directories. Version 1.4 of the X.Org server contains such features as RandR 1.2 support, input hot-plugging, KDrive enhancements, Solaris DTrace support, and EXA improvements. In this article today, we will briefly go over some of the changes found in X.Org 7.3 and we will follow up with some benchmarks in early September."

I'd venture to say. NO.
The purpose of a feature freeze is to work out all bugs and kinks, and the X server can be the source of a LOT of kinks with a distro. It will be in the next release or if you're adventurous you'll be able to install it via the package manager in a week or so.
Of course don't expect them to do tech support on it for a while.

Apparently they don't:

But that link you gave states that 7.3 is already in. And that it's xserver 1.4 that's not going to be in this release. In fact, a dev was in the ubuntuforums the other day stating that gutsy would have 7.3.

If its ready the day before 7.10 and things in Cannonical are like 2 years ago it maybe depends on Mark's plans. Remember the Nautilus Spatial patch that he pushed on the very last minute?

Does anyone know if Ubuntu plans to break feature freeze to get this included?
