With X being a completely unmaintainable mess, all new and bugfix

I have heard that there have been no security fixes, and also that
there have. I understand that there is little to no "development" in
the X11 space, but as a mature product it doesn't need development so
much as a proper "X12".
Some of the original X developers
started Wayland as X reimagined 45 year later for the 21st century
needs.
This was a "good idea".
Agreed.
From what I read X11 suffered from mission creep and a lot of features
that should have been in the compositors ended up in X11 and will never
be in Wayland. That means some features will disappear until
re-engineered by the different teams and only if they decide it's worth
their effort.
One feature I make heavy use of is the ability to "shade" or roll
windows up/down into/from the title bar. A plasma6 guy said that if
shading is not in Wayland then it's probably kaput because he doesn't
see anybody with the knowledge and willingness to implement it.
I have no idea what else will be lost but it is those features that may
take years to reappear, if ever.
Hope I'm still here then, hahaha.
:m
