It simply won't be called. The "replacement" winex11 would contain
the needed driver functionality.
It's exactly the same as separating DIB from DDB from inside wineX11, but
without the regression problems. The 2 winex11 drivers could remain as
a stable and a development alternative.
Once the replacement one is ready and tested, it would replace the old
one. It's almost the same that happens with wine1.0 and the devel branch
1.1, with the difference that the new driver could be operated as an
alternative to old one from the same build.

Through winedib or gdi again?  The first would not

Well, now it *is* glued. That's just one way to unglue it.
