The X.Org Foundation was formed for stewardship of X, the window system and its canonical implementation.

Since X is now deprecated tech (the foundation itself even states that Wayland is the future), a name change is perhaps in order.

I've seen posts by "X.Org Foundation" on their official Google+ page to the effect that Wayland is the display server of the future and efforts should be focused to target it.
