Can I propose a different way to look at this ? From where I sit, Xorg itself has become pretty stable and "just works" most of the time.
If you ask most people what the big problems are with Linux graphics and UI today, most of the answers will relate to things that are not part of Xorg, although some of the major projects going on (like Kernel Modesetting) do require some corresponding changes in the Xorg tree.
We still need new Xorg releases, and things are still improving, but honestly I don't see Xorg itself being the bottleneck in the adoption of Linux on the desktop.
