I would say that the X.Org board does need to ask the question if they should remain existing. X.org board basically owns no infrastructure, X.org board a bank account that almost zero.
There is worse there have been documented cases of financial miss management in the X.org board. Yes back in 2015 it was considered to allow X.org board to dissolve out of existence into SPI and leave x.org projects in freedesktop.org care over some of these cases.
So you are working on Wayland and X.org what board would you join. That right the freedesktop.org board as their votes can directly effect what infrastructure you can get access to for the development of X11 and Wayland and freedesktop.org has always has proper money management so very low risk of end up having to be in court to deal with financial miss management .
This is my problem anyone who does due diligence on the X.org board before putting there name forwards is not going to put their name forwards because X.org board reputation is garbage with total lack of resources. Yes it was known to be garbage with total lack of resources back in 2015.
kpedersen it also does not help that the reality is X.org board is useless and is basically pointless for those working on Wayland and X.org. Why would you put something forwards in the X.org board that then has to be tabled at the freedesktop.org board before anything can be done when you can sit on the freedesktop.org board and put it forwards directly. Yes if you had the choice of attending only 1 meeting instead of 2 you are going to choose to only attend one meeting again this explains what happens with developers working on x.org and wayland if they attend the freedesktop.org meetings they have everything covered. Yes the X.org board meeting comes waste of time for developers working on both Wayland and x.org.
This is one of these cases either the bullet has to be bitten with the X.org board gets killed off or someone with serous backing is able to step up provide the board and completely restructure the X.org board operation. It possible that X.org board is just too far gone and that its current day functionality nothing more than pointless duplication that is being bypassed all the time by direct freedesktop.org members.
Yes you know something is bad when due diligence check for keeping something alive like the X.org Board starts making the above cartoon look like a practical idea.

That would be a12 or the true attempt to implement X12. Lets be real X.org Board does not have the money to make X12.
