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 don't know about others, but I got tired of the Ubuntu merry-go-round."

And...this news item is about Ubuntu exactly how?
I don't know about others, bit I get tired of people venting their disappointment with things that are completely off-topic.

I think my comment was relevant considering the very first comment was from someone asking about whether or not Ubuntu would break it's feature freeze ON THE NEXT VERSION OF UBUNTU to include X.org 7.3 and Xserver 1.4. Maybe you should read a bit before you comment.

I'm sorry, but it's still off-topic. The first comment was about availability of Xorg 7.3 on Ubuntu. It was on-topic (the topic being Xorg).

Your comment was basically you whining about how packages in Ubuntu are not up-to-date enough for your tastes. It had nothing to do with Xorg, and it wasn't in reply to the other comment. Therefore, off-topic.

"I think my comment was relevant"

No. The first comment was about the new X.org on Ubuntu, your comment was about packages in Ubuntu. Packages != X.org.
