The issue is X11 as we know it has no developers left. If nobody is around to maintain it, the world will move on, no ramrod necessary. More info: https://ajaxnwnk.blogspot.com/2020/10/on-abandoning-x-server...

There are plenty of developers left. It is just release management refuses to make new releases.

I suppose that theory is possible. A proxy for developer availability might be to check the primary mailing list of xorg for the full month of march: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2021-March/thread.ht.... There wasn't much directly related to xorg-xserver itself. As a point of comparison, here is March for QEMU: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-03/thr...

After years of misleading propaganda about how X11 is "deprecated" now I would expect no less. Besides maybe the main communication channel for development is somewhere else.

Most developer activity related to Linux graphics is in dri-devel, it's been like this for quite a while. The X development channels have been mostly dead outside of discussion of XWayland. I doubt you'll see anyone starting any major new features in X.

There are still some active PRs

Someone is trying to get multi-touch support merged, but is waiting for a review.

I hope someone comes along to review those, but I don't see there being much interest in it.

If this lie helps you sleep at night.. The reality is out there, why don’t you have a look?
