- bitwize 6y agoAgreed, which means that right now Keith Packard is about the only person or entity keeping X alive. Red Hat have washed their hands of it. When the legacy versions of RHEL that still use it go out of support, maintenance on Xorg will pretty much grind to a halt. It is a moribund project, and that presents considerable risk.
