| > X11 not supporting modern display technologies is arguably a bug, X maintainers said it is a feature they do not want to implement. Because "we work on Wayland now, Wayland better". |

| ▲ | nairboon 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Not really, that is OP's point. Xorg maintainers don't really want to enhance X11 and add new features, only critical bug fixes. That is one of the reason there are now X11 forks like Xlibre. | | |
| ▲ | ryao 2 days ago | parent [-] | | That is a misconception. They added VR support to the Xorg server long after people started saying this. New features need to be well written and not break existing things, which is hard to do. The entire premise of Wayland was to make a clean state to avoid having to worry about existing things. However, they are not opposed to having new things added, as long as adding new things does not break existing things. |

| This guy does not work on Wayland: https://www.x.org/wiki/AlanCoopersmith/ That said, he has not volunteered to implement HDR. |
