Why he forked Xorg: as I understand it there were THOUSANDS of merge requests to address issues in Xorg that were being ignored (possibly because the Red Hat employees who managed Xorg MRs were ignoring them on purpose because they were more interested in Wayland -- but that's speculation at this point). He felt strongly enough about this to fork the projects... at which point, apparently, all of those MRs were closed (and deleted?) making it difficult or impossible for XLibre to pick up those MRs and apply to them to the fork.
