Even if they aren't closely tied to the X software package anymore, they are literally called "the X.Org Foundation". Why wouldn't they want to hang on to x.org

Hell, even if they called themselves something completely different... that'd still be a valuable asset.

I quite like the sound of xorg.org. Or perhaps they could rent x.org.org off the chap who currently owns org.org.

  X.Org.info, the perfect place to find info about a project called X.Org.

The X.Org Foundation was formed for stewardship of X, the window system and its canonical implementation. Since X is now deprecated tech (the foundation itself even states that Wayland is the future), a name change is perhaps in order.

  At least according to Keith, I don't think X.org officially holds that stance.

    I've seen posts by "X.Org Foundation" on their official Google+ page to the effect that Wayland is the display server of the future and efforts should be focused to target it.
