It is always a bad idea to give reactionaries a platform, and packaging software that has "404" in their CoC file and write that they forked the upstream project "because of woke", and "exclusionary practices such as DEI and Codes of Conduct" in their README is doing just that. How about we make like Chimera Linux and do not do that? I, as an X11 user (GNOME and more recently StumpWM) will keep using X.Org or switch to Wayland before i even take into consideration using software written and maintained by nazis (and take into consideration i will not).

Sure, but this is still not a point in favor of packaging MORE software from Nazis, is it? One could argue that suckless software has useful qualities that some other software does not (i will not argue that, as it is my opinion that it does not, but still), while i am yet to see ANY useful qualities of xlibre over upstream X.Org apart from "cleansing" it from "evil RedHat" and "DEI". In other words the project is total and absolute bullshit. >>> If Xlibre is libre and doesn't include malware, why shouldn't we >>> package it?
