I'm seeing Thomas Dickey (xterm mantainer) and some other new people, along with Coopersmith who is a old-timer in Xorg development, slowly taking over Xorg.

I find myopic that GNOME and KDE are working towards a cohesive user computing experience starting from "one-size-fits-all widgets" and data as an afterthought. Red Hat freedesktopers aren't designing anything for all humans, they always tire themselves on some all-encompassing project then adapted for two niche use-cases that generate revenue.

But I don't care no more, I'm using Xorg and Xenocara, runit, will probably going to hack on Arcan someday.
