@phoronix 1. xlibre project proudly anti-DEI, stated in README2. all of the authors original contributions to x11 had to be reverted because they broke everything3. he tried to change the licensing terms of x11 with 'sneaky' commits and edits4. nobody, anywhere on earth, needs a NEW fork of x11

@phoronix Leaving aside the legitimate concerns about the project's governance right now, and speaking as someone who'd dearly like Xorg to be forked by someone who cares about X11, XLibre doesn't sound as if it's a viable, compatible, replacement right now. Certainly it needs time to prove itself and for its developer base to prove their commitment to maintaining a stable, secure, and backward compatible X11 server.
