Software breaks itself simply by being unmaintained. If people were serious about Xorg, it would see more activity.


> Software breaks itself simply by being unmaintained.

It really doesn't; unmaintained software breaks when the world changes around it. Sometimes this is fair, like needing to keep up with changes in how the kernel exposes graphics capabilities, and sometimes it really isn't, like applications deciding to only support wayland when they aren't doing anything that wouldn't work fine on X11.

Oh, like people funding new work which allows a new maintainer to work on it? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29017498
