Ah, it is the "32bit isn't needed anymore" all over again. Yeah, this will happen around the same time you wont need to ship 32bit support on Linux :-)
- bitwize 7y agoIf the sole maintainer of the 32-bit code base decided to fuck off, and no one else is stepping up, your choices are to either stick with your old OS forever, or get a 64-bit machine. This is where we're at with Wayland and X.
- badsectoracula 7y agoMaybe nobody is stepping up because they have no reason to do so and nobody even asked for anyone to do so? If the message was "hey, we want to stop working on Xorg and move to Wayland, is anyone interested in taking over?" instead of "Xorg is dead, we wont work on it, nobody will work on it, ever" then perhaps some people would show up? Besides, even though i am not interested in taking over Xorg, if something breaks on it i'm more likely to look into fixing it than switching my environment to Wayland.
