XLibre gets voted down because all of the project lead's freedesktop PRs were reverted for being crap, and nobody has any faith in the project, especially when Wayback now exists

I mean, him being a notorious crackpot doesn't help, obviously. But it's a project with absolutely minimal promise.

Fair enough, but why snuff out X11 so aggressively when there seems to be several/many use cases where Wayland just isn't there yet? I would hope that the apparent forcing of Wayland onto distros and DEs could be addressed without reference to the person forking X11 into another project.
