Some Linux distributions are substituting Xorg with wayland,
Xorg self seems to aim to obsolete x11,
and there is now a questionable fork that probably will not lead to a
success:
https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver
Questionable? That remains to be seen. Some linux distributions are
picking this
up and packaging it (devuan being the latest). If only for the sole
reason that
it's not under control of FDO and Red Hat, who seem to actively want to
kill Xorg
or X11 altogether. Also, it will avoid politics, everyone is welcome.
This is
more in line with OpenBSD's netiquette.
Yes, X11 is not perfect as you state, but it works, and it "does the
thing".
Could xenocara become the continuation of x11?
I think it should be considered, since this fork is maintained and will
accept
xenocara patches. They also recently removed systemd dependencies and
also
decoupled XWayland from the project. Those are useful changes, unless
you think
OpenBSD should adopt systemd or that elogind monstrosity? (yes, that's
tongue
in cheek)
