By your logic the Linux kernel itself should ve replaced since it's decades old and full of legacy code

Sure, but by that logic, there's nothing wrong with still using cooperative multitasking.

Eventually, everyone involved knows, it's time. And even Linux has had some major rewrites in multiple areas - don't pretend like Linux hasn't changed immensely since 1.0. Xorg though... hasn't that much...

There's nothing wrong using cooperative multitasking in embedded systems for an example.

Heck, there's nothing wrong using anything anywhere, it's a question of fulfilling the requirements.

Meanwhile, you in another comment:

So, which one is it? Is it unchanging or is it evolved through several extensions?
