DRM here stands for Direct Rendering Manager, not intentionally broken software.

Hate when articles treat three-letter acronyms as obvious and unambiguous.

With the RFC flag removed, inching ever closer to hopefully being mainlined into the Linux kernel for enhancing the Direct Rendering Manager drivers.

Yeah, buried at the end. Any style guide (or common sense) will tell you to expand an acronym the first time it comes up.
