It's Time To Admit It: The X.Org Server Is Abandonware

This is sad, I hope someone steps to make a new release. A new release is needed for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, and TrueOS. Maybe other operating systems that use X.Org Server and don't have Wayland.
Also for distributions using Wayland it is still good with a new X.Org release since it contains XWayland.

I don't get the defending the Xorg argument. It's really outdated and it's literally standing on it's last legs as shown that no one wants to work with it. Only end-users will defend it's features. It's not a bad thing to have a "feature" complete project but if you defend Xorg then you cannot ignore it's technological side either or you fall into a cognitive dissonance situation.
It's a better argument to say "I will stick with Xorg until Wayland is stable enough". But don't defend that Xorg on the premise of being "stable", which is equivalent to using dirty solutions/hacks for something to work.

If you run the right hardware with a specific set of tasks on GNOME then Wayland can be perfect. Don't run that hardware with those specific tasks on GNOME then Wayland is less than stellar and you're back to using X.
