Dear Maintainer,

The description of the package `xserver-xorg-video-intel` says:

 > The use of this driver is discouraged if your hw is new enough (ca. 2007 and
newer). You can try uninstalling this driver and let the server use it's
builtin modesetting driver instead.

I think it is safe to assume that in 2017, the vast majority of Debian users
will have hardware meeting this criteria, so having `xserver-xorg-video-all`
Recommend `xserver-xorg-video-intel` seems wrong.
For almost all users, having `xserver-xorg-video-intel` not recommended at all,
or at the very least downgraded to Suggested status, would make much more
sense.

Dear Maintainer,

a usable graphical desktop – on a computer which runs Debian just fine …

It seems to me the person suggesting this has no empathy for people who
do not own the latest and greatest hardware. Not everyone can figure it
out that a package that is supposed to install all drivers is not doing
that actually.

Therefore I kindly ask you to please not listen to this person who owns
newer hardware than I do.
