Technically yes, but a pretty good one at that. :)

No, Cairo merely triggers bugs in EXA. Of course it would be great to fix those, if someone can figure out how to do it properly, but accelerating solid pictures in the driver should leave us in at least as good a place as we were in before; probably better, as Cairo 1.12 comes with some other performance improvements, and other toolkits/apps might benefit from this as well. That it happens to avoid the EXA bugs is sort of a nice bonus. :)
