    Let's hope they decide to launch Xserver 1.21 soon enough for autumn distros.

      How are you still allowed to post here? STFU and stop trolling. You've been told countless times that Xserver is more than XWayland. Just because that's all you care about does not mean that's how everyone feels.
      Remember, an X dev called your trolling "amazingly stupid": https://www.phoronix.com/forums/foru...71#post1141771

        It looks like three of the four (Eric Anholt, Keith Packard, Harry Wentland) are incumbents, and the only change is Mark Filion replacing Bryce Harrington.

          So you disagree with current directions of X development. That’s your problem and not mine.
          No, I disagree with your characterization of X development (i.e. your blatant lying and trolling), especially when X devs tell you to stop with the "Xwayland is the only thing that matters" nonsense. That's your problem.

            The X.org foundation board is not involved in technical matters of the foundation projects.

            Git master has important new Xwayland features.

              MrCooper already knows that, because he's written a lot of those patches.

                The "Wayland Meritocracy", aka Red Hat, are major contributors to Xserver, but they are not the only ones and they do not own it. Why is that so difficult for you to process? (Don't answer that. It's a rhetorical question. We know it's difficult for you to process because it counters your "GNOME is the standard/default/only desktop" trolling.)
                And while the Red Hat blog post did talk about X moving to a maintenance mode, it also stated that would happen after XWayland work and referenced the support life of RHEL 8, which is 2029 or so.

                Commits (and not just ones that are candidates for backporting) continue in XServer's git, including commits from your beloved Illuminati. So yes, I believe we'll have Xserver 1.21, and it will be beneficial to Wayland and non-Wayland users alike, whether you like it or not...

                    Perhaps but they may assign someone to lead the project so we get a release soon.
