People have all kind of opinions about xlibre as a project and the politics around it that I'm not interested in, but if they're driving xorg to improve, that's a good thing.

I'm not some anti-wayland zealot but you will pry xfce out of my cold dead hands.

Hard same. I'm using xfce on my laptop with mint xfce edition, and it's a breath of fresh air. Everything just works how you'd expect it to work, and it gets out of your way.

I tried sway a couple years ago and I lost count of the number of things I needed to go and find wayland specific workarounds for. I know things have gotten better since then, but I didn't see any benefit to switching and a whole lot of hassle.

Xorg has had releases for years and will continue to do so. But as you can see in the announcement, enterprise users are the driving factor.

		Yeah, but they haven't added any features in years, from what I assumed to be a maintenance only/feature frozen stance in favor of Wayland, which is (primarily) why xlibre forked.

Even xfce will one day move to Wayland.

With a project as user/dev hostile as wayland, it's much better to be a 'last mover' than first.

For the life of me, I'll never understand how wayland got traction with the community.

'Hey guys, we decided to implement a display server from scratch! We broke a ton of existing functionality and made a ton of low level stuff that X used to handle the responsibility of WM/DE devs!'

		Wayland is not a "display server", it's a display protocol. A lot of the "existing functionality" that it broke has nothing to do with displays, it's stuff that got crammed into Xorg at some point whether it made sense or not. I find it quite funny that many of the same people that rag on systemd for doing too many things are big fans of Xorg.
