We're highly unlikely to ever see X12, since we're transitioning to Wayland.
Then everything will run on top of Wayland, except legacy applications that run with backward-compatibility on XWayland, hence still X11.
I think they should remove all the unnecessary stuff from the X11 protocol though, so left is a smaller subset of the X11 protocol.
It could be called microX11 or X11-Lite or something.
Then X.org could conform to the new subset protocol instead of the full fledged X11 protocol, that way we could have a leaner code base that was faster, more secure, and less buggy.
It wouldn't be backwards-compatible with 30 year old X11 applications, but who cares, its not anyway since software are dynamically linked against more recent version of glibc and such.

In some sense Wayland is X12. It is just that they decided not to name it X12.
