Why did fbdev replace radeon in xorg.conf?

Wow, did a rawhide update today catching up two days worth and on reboot 
got a double blurred screen at what looked like 640x320 resolution.  On 
an alternate terminal looked at xorg.conf and saw that in the device 
section that radeon had been replaced by fbdev.  Fixed and restarted X 
and all was well.

What changed this?  Will file a bz, but against what?  There was no 
mention of an xorg.conf change during the update and a review of the 
yum.log doesn't show anything except several mesa component updates and 
compiz update.  Would one of those change xorg.conf?
